Fenetex vs. Alutech StormTex: Which Hurricane Screen is Right for You?

If you’re researching Fenetex hurricane screens, you’re looking for a modern, lightweight, and effective way to protect your home. Fenetex is a well-known brand, and their products are a popular choice. But are they the only option? And more importantly, are they the best value for your Carolina home?

As local storm protection specialists, we’ve reviewed all the major systems. We’ve chosen to partner with Alutech United because we believe their StormTex screens offer the absolute best combination of strength, durability, and value for our customers. This page provides a fair comparison to help you decide.

What Are Hurricane Fabric Screens?

Hurricane screens are a revolutionary alternative to traditional panels or shutters. Made from high-tech, densely woven fabrics, they are designed to be deployed over large openings like patios, lanais, porches, and large window banks. They are incredibly strong, yet lightweight and translucent, meaning you won’t be in the dark during a storm.

About Fenetex Hurricane Screens

Fenetex is a quality manufacturer of hurricane screens. Their products are rated for storm protection and are a popular choice for enclosing outdoor living spaces. They have a good reputation and are a recognized name in the industry.

Our Choice: Alutech StormTex (Made with OmegaTex)

At American Hurricane Shutters, we are an official supplier and installer of Same Category. We chose this system because we believe it’s perfectly suited for the coastal Carolinas. Here’s why:

Advanced Fabric: StormTex is made with OmegaTex, an extremely durable and resilient fabric that has been rigorously tested to withstand hurricane-force winds and debris.
Lightweight & Translucent: Like all fabric systems, StormTex is easy to deploy and still allows ambient light to enter your home, which is a huge advantage over panels or plywood.
Versatility: It’s the ideal solution for protecting large, custom-shaped areas like screened porches and lanais, which are common in our service area from Jacksonville, NC, to Pawleys Island, SC.

You can learn more about our specific system on our hurricane screens page.

The Real Deciding Factor: Price & Installation

Both Fenetex and Alutech make excellent products. The single most important difference isn’t a small feature‚Äîit’s the price and the quality of the installer. A hurricane screen is only as good as its anchoring system and installation, and that’s where we shine.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. Our Rated Hurricane Screens start at just $44 per square foot. This makes them one of the most affordable and high-value protection systems on the market, especially for large openings where rolldown shutters could be cost-prohibitive. You can even get a preliminary idea of cost on our online cost calculator.
