“We thought the ‘hospital-level’ system would be out of reach. Our SuperMax quote actually came in below two bids for standard shutters.”
SuperMax Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters
Essential Building impact-rated protection for Florida homes in 55+ and gated communities — manufactured & installed by CHPXL.
SuperMax Hurricane Protection for Florida’s 55+ & Gated Communities
Engineered to reduce storm anxiety and protect the home you’ve chosen for this stage of life — against wind-swept flooding, pressure spikes, and structural damage.
Most shutters are tested to Florida Building Code Level D. The SuperMax Essential Building Shutter is tested to higher Level E impact velocities — closer to standards used for critical facilities that must stay functional through major storms.
Essential Building–oriented impact testing
Category 5–oriented performance
Tested up to ~80 ft/s (≈54.5 mph)
Higher protection than Level D shutters
Spans openings up to 384"
Serving Florida since 2005
Why SuperMax Instead of Standard Shutters?
Standard residential shutters meet Florida Building Code Level D, with impact testing around 50 ft/s (≈ 34.5 mph). That may satisfy code — but many Florida homeowners want a higher ceiling of protection, especially over large sliders, lanais, and wide openings.
SuperMax is engineered differently. It is tested as an Essential Building Shutter — impacts at roughly 80 ft/s (≈ 54.5 mph) plus higher design pressures.
For owners in 55+ and gated communities, it’s about staying safer, staying drier, and staying calm when storms approach — without wondering if a single failed opening turns into a full interior loss.
Why Florida Homeowners Are Upgrading to CHPXL
Wind-swept Flooding
Wind-driven rain can enter lanais, sliders, and doors quickly and cause expensive interior losses.
Insurance Reality
Higher deductibles, complex claims, and more denials after storms are becoming standard in Florida.
Structural House Collapse
A Tale of Two Houses. Collapse often starts with one opening failure and pressure overload.
Interior Wind-Swept Flooding
No lakes or rivers required.
Our systems help block wind-driven rain before it breaches sliders, lanais, and doors — reducing interior damage.
Claim Denials & Responsibility
With up to 50% of hurricane claims denied, homeowners are increasingly expected to show they took
reasonable steps to protect openings and reduce avoidable water and pressure damage.

Pressure Failure from a Single Breach
SuperMax helps stop hurricane wind pressure from entering the home — protecting the structure where it matters.
What Homeowners Are Saying About SuperMax
Real feedback from Florida homeowners who chose Essential Building–oriented protection — and in many cases paid less than the “basic” shutter quotes they received.
“After Ian, we wanted something that would let us stay put without feeling reckless. SuperMax is rated stronger than what the neighbors have.”
“We downsized to simplify life, not to spend every storm season worrying about glass. SuperMax gave us room in the budget for family visits.”
“We compared three companies. The ‘standard’ option was more expensive once we added what we needed. SuperMax came in lower overall.”

CUSTOM HURRICANE PRODUCTS
is now becoming
Since 2005, these storms helped forge our products into hurricane-proven systems.
From Manufacturer to Full Protection Partner
Since 2005, we engineered hurricane protection as Custom Hurricane Products. Today, as CHPXL, we bring that same engineering directly to homeowners — combining factory-direct manufacturing with professional installation.
Proven Where Failure Isn’t an Option
Before we brought CHPXL directly to homeowners, our products were trusted in demanding essential-facility environments.
- Sarasota Memorial Hospital — Essential Building–oriented criteria with impacts near 80 ft/s.
- MacDill Air Force Base — Screens installed in environments protecting mission-critical equipment.
- Former Governor of Louisiana — Custom screens installed for high-exposure protection.
We have completed dozens of witnessed impact tests with signed documentation verifying velocities up to 80 ft/s (≈54.5 mph) — far beyond typical residential testing at 50 ft/s (≈34.5 mph).
