When Should You Switch From Steel Panels
Putting up steel storm panels every hurricane season can be a pain in the rear end. Deploying these shutters takes hours and can often leave homeowners with scratches from the sharp edges. Making the transition for homeowners can be hard on them financially, but shutter protection is an investment. Hurricanes threaten Florida every year, you might as well put the investment in now to save time and health every hurricane season. Deploying storm panels and having to take them down can be physically draining. Not only that, but these hurricane storm panels also will take up space in your garage that could be used for more important things. There are many different hurricane shutters to choose from, I will provide some general information about the most popular types.
Accordion Shutters
The most popular type of hurricane shutters that homeowners transition to are accordion shutters. Accordion shutters are cheaper than alternative types of hurricane protection and provide great value. Accordion shutters deploy using a sliding rail system that opens and closes with ease and locks together during hurricpsane season. The accordion shutters are a very happy medium between the cheapest and most expensive shutters. They require less time to deploy and little effort. Instead of having to take on and off your storm panels every hurricane season, you can just slide open and close the accordion shutters with ease. At Johnson Aluminum Products we believe that accordion shutters are the best type of hurricane shutters for your money.
Bahama Shutters
Bahama shutters are a beautiful form of hurricane protection that many people choose. It adds an island-like vibe to your home. Many people who live close to the beach get the Bahama-style design. The Bahama shutters not only add aesthetics, but this type of shutter also adds maximum hurricane protection. This type of shutter uses a top-hinge design to deploy the shutter down parallel with the window when deployed, and when it is the hurricane offseason it can sit at a 45-degree angle. Many people love the Bahama shutters because they add sunshade, privacy, hurricane protection, and beauty to the property. Hurricane shutter protection doesn’t have to look ugly, we also have colonial shutters that help add beauty to your home.
Colonial Shutters
Similar to Bahamas, colonial shutters add beauty whilst providing maximum hurricane protection. Colonial shutters close like a book and are very beautiful. This type of storm shutter can be opened during the hurricane offseason to allow the sun to come in through the windows, or you can keep it shut to provide privacy, sunshade, and hurricane protection.
Roll-Up Shutters
Roll-up shutters are by far the most convenient type of hurricane protection. Roll-up shutters offer maximum protection and are the most expensive option for hurricane shutter protection. They operate using an electric motor that deploys up to four windows at a time. The shutters are controlled by a wireless remote that makes this process very easy whether you are inside your home or outside. No need to worry about dangerous hurricanes hitting unexpectedly, the shutters take seconds to deploy with no effort. In case of a power outage, there is a hand crank option that can operate your roll-up shutters for you.
