Storm Panels
If you want your home or business to remain secure, preparation is key. Thankfully, in Florida, we have plenty of notice of approaching hurricanes. Having storm panels ready to safeguard your structure’s vulnerabilities during a storm is an efficient solution. Let’s review the benefits of storm panels.
Benefits of Storm Panels
There are various choices for protective hurricane shutters. Time after time, storm panels are a popular choice. This option offers numerous benefits for hurricane protection.
- Affordability: Hurricane panels are one of the most affordable forms of protective shutters available. As a bonus, some insurers offer a discount to property owners who purchase them.
- Lifespan: Hurricane panels are only used when needed. That means they can be used repeatedly for decades. Thereby lowering the total cost of ownership.
- Security: During the storm, these shutters stand firm against wind and debris. If you need to evacuate, these solid panels form a barrier that helps to secure your property in your absence.
- Ease of care: No maintenance is necessary because the panels are only used as needed. If you choose to permanently install tracks to support the panels, you may wish to clean them occasionally for aesthetic reasons.
- Storage: Panels will need to be stored when not in use, but they pack together with amazing finesse. On average, seven panels can fit in 1 inch of space.
