Types of Hurricane Shutters: Which is right for you?

There are many different types of hurricane shutters out there on the market. Hurricane shutters are very important because living in Florida, hurricanes threaten the area every year. It is important to get hurricane shutters that deploy quickly and that provide maximum hurricane protection. In this blog post I will briefly discuss the different types of hurricane shutters and why they may be a good fit for you.

Hurricane Storm Panels

The hurricane storm panels are the traditional storm shutters that are made from steel that most houses come with. The hurricane storm panels provide maximum protection but are very time-consuming to deploy which makes them not practical for emergency use. These shutters are the cheapest form of hurricane protection that provides maximum hurricane protection. The reason they are the cheapest form of hurricane shutters is that they take hours to deploy and require storage space for when you take them down. Many people transition away from the hurricane storm panels after a few hurricane seasons because they find it too labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Accordion Shutters

The most popular type of hurricane protection that homeowners transition to from storm panels is the accordion shutters. Accordion shutters operate using a sliding rail system that allows the shutter to open and close with ease. Each shutter comes with its own unique key and lock system to ensure you're protected from hurricanes as well as secure from vandalism and theft. Accordion shutters are great because they stay up year-round and require no storage space. These storm shutters deploy in seconds and require minimal effort. The accordions are very affordable and offer the best quality for the money.

Bahama Shutters

If you’re looking to add beauty to your property as well as hurricane protection then I suggest bahama shutters. Bahama shutters are very attractive and add aesthetic décor to your home as well as provide you maximum hurricane protection. The bahama shutters provide maximum hurricane protection, beauty, sunshade, privacy, and ease of use. These storm shutters operate using a top-hinge design which allows users to deploy these shutters easily with little effort. The bahama shutters are very versatile allowing the user to move the shutters to different positions.
