Hurricane Season Is Approaching

With hurricane season approaching, it’s important to make sure to get the right hurricane protection for you. Hurricane season always brings unexpected times, make sure to have the best hurricane shutters to protect you. At Johnson Aluminum Products we sell and service accordion shutters, bahama shutters, storm panels, and roll-up shutters. In this blog post, I will describe each type and how it might be a good fit for your home.

Hurricane Storm Panels

The hurricane storm panels are the most common type of hurricane shutter. You may see them on other houses, they are the steel bulky panels that are drilled on the outside of windows. The problem with the traditional steel storm panels is that they are very heavy making them time-consuming and labor-intensive. This isn’t practical for all families, many people transition from storm panels to other types of hurricane shutters because of the labor and time involved.

These storm shutters are the cheapest form of hurricane protection that we carry here at Johnson Aluminum Products. If you are on a tight budget and have the manpower to deploy these heavy panels then storm panels are the right hurricane shutter for you. The difference between our aluminum storm panels and steel panels is the weight. Our aluminum storm panels are much lighter than the steel, yet also more protective providing the best of both worlds.

Accordion Shutters

Our most popular type of hurricane protection at Johnson Aluminum Products is the accordion shutters. We manufacture our accordion shutters, they deploy with ease and are much more affordable than other types of hurricane shutters. Accordion shutters operate using a sliding rail system that allows the shutter to open and close with ease. These shutters stay up year-round so no need to store them. If you’re looking for the best all-around shutter for your money, I recommend the accordion shutter.

Accordion shutters pull close and lock with their own unique key-lock system. These shutters can be used for both hurricane protection ad security to prevent theft and vandalism. Many people transition from storm panels to accordion shutters because they are much easier to deploy.

Bahama Shutters

Bahama shutters are very beautiful and add home decor as well as hurricane protection. Bahama shutters also stay up year-round and operate using a top-hinge design that deploys the shutter with ease. If you’re looking for the most aesthetic type of hurricane protection, these storm shutters are the right one for you. These bahamas are made from aluminum and provide maximum hurricane protection, privacy, sunshade, and privacy to your home. Throw away those heavy bulky steel panels and come get you some beautiful bahama hurricane shutters.

Roll-Up Shutters

The most convenient type of hurricane protection is the roll-up shutter. Roll-Up shutters are one of the most expensive types of hurricane protection, but they deploy with no effort and minimal time. Our roll-up shutters operate using an electric motor that is controlled by a wireless remote or wall switch. The remote can deploy up to four shutters simultaneously with the touch of a button making this the easiest form of hurricane protection.

Our roll-up shutters are manufactured by Nautilus. The Nautilus Rolling Shutter System is top of the line and has a unique patent. These storm shutters undergo large missile impact tests and 20,000 cycle fatigue tests to ensure reliability and dependability. If you’re looking for the easiest shutter to deploy, then the roll-up shutters are the right one for you!
