Do you need hurricane shutters? Find out now!

When there is a threat of a storm or a hurricane, you usually find shelter in your home, right? However, as you may have noticed, recent meteorological phenomena have been so strong that the windows and doors of your house may not be enough to keep you safe and sound anymore. To guarantee the safety of your loved ones and your own, it is crucial that you consider getting new forms of protection such as hurricane shutters, storm panels or a hurricane fabric shield.

Here are some questions to help you decide which hurricane protection is best for you:

1. Do you live in a tropical place, near the beach and with a hot and humid climate?

The first thing that you need to consider is the area where you live. If your home is near the ocean and / or in an area with tropical or subtropical weather, you are more likely to be hit by a cyclone. Then yes! Your home needs hurricane shutters!

2. How close ti the coast is your home?

We have already established that it is highly recommended to get hurricane protection if you live near the beach. Now it’s time to decide the material that your storm panels should be made of. Aluminum shutters, polycarbonate blinds or hurricane fabric panels? If your house is right on the beach or steps away from the coast, we recommend aluminum hurricane shutters for you. Their rigidity and resistance will be of great use to face the raging winds and projectiles that storms can bring with them. If you want to have the same level of protection provided by aluminum but you don’t want to block sunlight, your best option is our polycarbonate storm panels. For homes located in the middle of a beach city, relatively far from the sea, our hurricane protection fabric shield may be a discreet and reliable alternative.

3. How big are the windows of your home?

Another aspect that must be taken into consideration to choose the right hurricane protection for your house is the size of your windows and your doors. See the solution recommended for each window size in the table below:
