Windows for a Hurricane

Hurricane window protection helps safeguard the most vulnerable part of your house in the event of a storm. High winds can send projectiles flying through your windows. The high pressure that results from the glass break can either blow out the windows on the other side or take off your roof. Proper protection is essential to prevent this from happening to you.

Choosing Hurricane Window

Here are some things to consider when choosing window protection for your home:

o How easy is the product to install? Can you do it yourself, or will you need to hire a professional?

o Consider the cost of the product. If you can DIY, the cost will be less.

o How easy will it be to prepare the home for an impending storm? Are the shutters fixed to the home, or will you need to hang them?

o Consider the areas you need protected. Take into consideration windows and doors. Don't forget the garage door, which may need additional support.

Shutters for Hurricane Window Protection

Accordion Shutters

Accordion shutters come in either one or two pieces. They are permanently attached to the sides of the window, so you won't need to take them on and off the house. They unfold to cover the window, like an accordion. They are easy to close for one person and lock with a key.

Bahama Shutters

Bahama Shutters attach above the windows and are propped open when not in use. This has an additional benefit of providing shade from the sun. When needed, lower the shutters and secure to the wall. This job is easily done by one person.

Colonial Shutters

Colonial style hurricane shutters come in two pieces and have a louvered design. They are attached to both sides of the window and are easily closed when needed. Most use a storm rod to lock them in place. These are good for decoration as well as protection.
