How to protect your property from hurricane damage

Living in Florida, hurricanes are inevitable. There is always a chance of a hurricane every season, it is important to stay protected. There are many different types of hurricane shutters to help protect your property from hurricane damage. It is also important to cut down any trees that can potentially fall onto your house as well as patio furniture that could go through your windows. I will list a few different types of hurricane shutters that you can use to help protect your property and family from hurricane damage.

Storm Panels

The most common and most affordable type of hurricane protection is the storm panel. Storm panels are usually made from steel but can sometimes be too heavy for families and so they switch to alternative shutters that deploy faster and are less labor-intensive. Hurricane storm panels are a pain because they have to be deployed every hurricane season and are very heavy taking hours to deploy making every hurricane season rough. The reason storm panels are the cheapest form of storm protection is because of the labor involved and time consumption.

Accordion Shutters

The storm shutter that most people switch to from storm panels is the accordion shutter. Accordion shutters are very easy to deploy and the shutter stays up year-round making every hurricane season a breeze. Accordion shutters take seconds to deploy and operate using a sliding rail system that allows homeowners to pull and close the shutter with ease. Each shutter comes with a unique key-lock system to ensure protection. Accordion shutters are the most popular type of shutters that we sell and service here at Johnson Aluminum Products. We manufacture the accordion shutters at our warehouse, come get yours today!

Bahama Shutters

The most beautiful type of hurricane shutter on the market is the bahama shutters. Bahama shutters are great because they provide privacy, sunshade, beauty, and maximum hurricane protection. These storm shutters also stay up year-round and add aesthetics to your home as well as hurricane protection. These storm shutters deploy using a top-hinge design that slides them in and out of place with ease. Throw away those hideous storm panels and upgrade to the bahama shutters that are very versatile.

Roll-Up Shutters

Roll-Up shutters are the most convenient yet expensive type of hurricane protection. The roll-up shutters operate using an electric motor that is controlled by a wireless remote. The Nautilus Rolling Shutter System is a unique patented design that undergoes rigorous testing like 20,000 cycle fatigue tests and large missile impact tests to ensure quality and dependability. The roll-up shutters are the easiest shutter to deploy, the wireless remote can control up to four shutters simultaneously.
