Hurricane Protection With Shutter Panels
Storm Panels are simple and effective hurricane shutters. They are most often secured outside but can be designed for inside closure for sliding glass doors and windows in some situations. They can be installed vertically or horizontally as works best for each opening. They can be installed using permanently installed headers and sills or can be installed using. The Tampin® Brand Machine Screw Anchor is a simple fastener that installs a threaded attach point for a sidewalk bolt to hold the panels in place. Also the use of Tampins® reduces the architectural impact on the property as there is no hardware showing except the head of the sidewalk bolt. Panels must be safely and securely stored when not in use. Kids love to make forts from the panels. The threat of a storm will require you to install the panels for each opening in advance. Trust me, it is no fun to install the panels when the wind is blowing and you are climbing up a ladder. The installation of the panels will make your house very dark inside. I suggest you consider you replace one metal panel for a Lexan panel to allow some natural light into each room. Not to mention everyone inside is curious about what is going on during the storm.
DO NOT GO OUT SIDE DURING THE STORM!
Flying debris can kill!
