Hurricane Season 2024 is Here!
The 2024 Hurricane Season is already underway here in Florida. The hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting an 85% chance of an above-normal season. This is an important prediction to consider by the NOAA since they are one of the highest reputable sources when it comes to hurricane coverage.
It is also important to ensure your home has proper hurricane protection for this season. The best time to invest in hurricane protection is before the hurricane season starts since there will be a lead time for manufacturers to install. There are many different types of hurricane protection that you can get from your home; impact windows, accordion shutters, bahama shutters, storm panels, electric roll-ups, and more.
There are a number of factors to consider when shopping around for hurricane protection. There is no one style fits all, you must research what you would like to have. Some factors to consider are; ease of deployment, aesthetics look, price, and more!
The cheapest hurricane protection currently on the market are storm panels. Storm panels are made from high grade aluminum and are panels that you take on and off each time there is a hurricane coming. The storm panels function using wingnuts that you tighten and attach to the windows. The downside to the storm panels is that they take the longest time to deploy. This can be a time costly option especially if you have a two story home.
The Accordion Shutters are very popular since they are cost efficient as well as easy to deploy. The accordion style shutters deploy in seconds making every hurricane season a breeze. Instead of having to take them on and off like storm panels, you just slide them open and close and they lock in place. The accordion shutters are a great option for windows, sliding glass doors, and doorways.
The most beautiful option when it comes to storm protection are the Bahama Shutters. Bahama shutters are multi-functional since they are hurricane shutters as well as decor. These hurricane shutters can provide shade control and light regulation. If you are looking for hurricane protection mixed with home decor, the Bahama Shutters will be a great option for you.
The most convenient option when it comes to hurricane protection is the Electric Roll-Up Shutters. These storm shutters deploy using an electric motor that can move them up or down with ease. You can get either a switch installed or a wireless remote to make it easy to deploy within the comfort of your own home. This is the most convenient option but it is also the most expensive option because of the installation of electrical components for the deployment process.
The data that came from the NOAA is predicting a more intense than normal hurricane season this year. It is advisable to invest in hurricane protection if you haven’t already done so. Listed above are different types of hurricane protection that may fit your needs.
