What is the cheapest type of shutter protection?

Many who are in the market for hurricane protection ask the question, “What is the cheapest way to protect my home from a hurricane?”. The answer is aluminum hurricane storm panels. Living in Florida it is essential to have hurricane protection for your home or property. Not everyone is financially stable enough to spend large sums of money on expensive roll-up shutters that activate with the push of a button. Hurricane storm panels are the cheapest but require many hours to activate.

Hurricane storm panels offer excellent protection and as discussed in a previous blog post, we recommend aluminum over steel because they are lighter and provide more protection because they are thicker as well. The only downside of going with the cheapest type of hurricane protection is that the storm panels are heavy and you have to put them up and take them off every hurricane season. That is why many recommend going with the accordion shutters because they are less time-consuming and require very little work.

Putting up hurricane storm panels can take a whole day and be very dangerous since they are very heavy and sharp. Many families have their children helping them and putting them at risk. Nonetheless, storm panels will get the job done and protect your property. Storm panels usually come with the house, but sometimes the dimensions can be off so you have to order new ones.

Here at Johnson Aluminum Products, we use .050 Aluminum instead of steel because it is lighter and thicker providing more protection for your property. Hurricane storm panels are the most common way of hurricane protection, consider trying accordion shutters, Bahama shutters, colonial shutters, and roll-ups.
