Storm Panel systems are a fantastic and budget-friendly choice for many homeowners! These shutters offer excellent protection for your home without breaking the bank. When purchasing your hurricane panels, keep these three key factors in mind: cost, time, and storage.

Storm panels are hands down the best value for many homeowners. Lexan panels, made of clear polycarbonate, are the lightest but also the priciest while Aluminum panels are sturdy and slightly heavier. We recommend a mix of aluminum with a few Lexan panels to let light in during a storm.

Next, let’s talk about deployment time. Each panel needs to be inserted into the tracks, fastened, and secured with a wingnut. A wingnut drill bit can speed up the process significantly, but it may still take some time to set up all your panels, depending on the number of openings. Also, consider whether you will need a ladder or lift for higher levels. While the installation is straightforward, it can be time-consuming, especially when preparing for evacuation. If these are points of concern for you contact us to discuss our other shutter options. 

Lastly, consider storage. When storm season is over, storm panels can be easily stacked and stored in your garage or storage shed. Aluminum panels should be stored off the ground to prevent moisture damage and maintain their integrity.
