“With little to no effort, a patio can become a three- or four-season room,” Arthur says. “You can heat it, cool it, retract the screens when you don’t need them, and preserve the aesthetics of the home.” And for builders working on luxury homes, aesthetics matter. “We can completely conceal the system inside the construction,” Arthur explains. “The screens are hidden until deployed. That’s the premier application.” Storm Protection Without Fine Print For regions like Florida, storm resilience isn’t optional. It’s essential. Progressive Screens’ Defender Screen is a hurricane-rated system, certified for Cat 5 performance and capable of withstanding 157-plus-mile-per-hour winds. DEFENDER HURRICANE SCREENS Certified Storm Protection. No Fine Print. Hurricane-Rated for CAT 5 Performance Certified across all sizes to withstand extreme storm conditions. Kevlar®-Reinforced Fabric Construction Vertical Kevlar® strands with controlled- stretch polyester absorb impact without failure.

Their systems are used by pool enclosure companies, window and garage door firms, storm protection specialists, and home automation integrators. They’ve become a preferred choice for many major brands in the commercial sector. But the deeper story is how people actually use the product. “One of my favorite pieces of feedback,” Jim says, “is once people have the product, how much they love it and use it every day. How long it lasts. How durable it is.”
Arthur puts it more bluntly: “People suddenly realize they have a brand-new space.”
Outdoor living is one of the fastest-growing segments in construction, and Progressive Screens sits squarely at that intersection of lifestyle and performance.
