Note: This is a draft transcription of the official ARC guidelines and may contain errors.
Solar Screens:
Solar screens may be installed on all windows on the front, side or back of the house. No solar screens may be installed unless 20×30 mesh or a maximum 80% UV rated screens are used. An acceptable material for solar screening is a heavy gauge vinyl mesh that is available in brown, dark gray or black. The mesh must be enclosed and framed in aluminum that is compatible with the overall color scheme of the contiguous surface of the window on which it is installed. The mounting of the solar screen should not detract from the overall appearance of the house.
Storm Doors:
Only full view storm doors may be installed and must be harmonious to the home. Door visibility should not be substantively screened except for the frame. The suggested material for storm doors is aluminum. The frame must match the door or the door trim on which it is installed. The mounting of the storm doors should not detract from the overall appearance of the house. Window film placed on storm doors must follow the window film guidelines.
Window Tint:
Window film may be installed on the front, side, or back of the home’s windows. No window film is allowed unless the visible light reflected is 20% or less. The only acceptable colors for window film are gray, charcoal or crystal/light silver clear film. Absolutely no mirrored, fully reflective bronze or any other colored film is allowed on any windows.
Storm Windows/Shutters (including rolling shutters):
must be architecturally consistent with the architecture of the house. All storm window frames must match the window trim of the house.
Storm shutters may be installed up to one week prior to an anticipated hurricane is forecast to potentially strike the general area. Storm shutters must be removed within two weeks after a hurricane or threat of a hurricane has passed the area.
Maintenance:
All solar screens, window film, storm doors and storm windows must be maintained in such fashion that they do not detract from the neighborhood.
