Every Floridian knows that preparing for a hurricane starts long before a storm is bearing down on you. Hurricane prep includes a lot of steps as well, including storing non-perishable foods, making sure your generator is up and running, and ensuring you have plenty of batteries, water, and charged-up phones and tablets. But perhaps the most important step is making sure you have the right materials to protect your house and its windows. A hurricane panel direct mount in West Palm Beach is one of the best options for hurricane-proofing your home, and you can learn more about the benefits below.
Material
Hurricane panels are made of a lightweight yet completely durable aluminum. This is important as you don’t want to be lugging around heavy plywood panels and trying to lift them to cover windows. Lightweight aluminum makes it easy to mount the panels with little effort. And unlike wood, aluminum won’t splinter or break if hurricane debris hits it.
You can also get a hurricane panel direct mount in West Palm Beach in a clear or transparent material that is just as durable as aluminum but allows light into the house.
Easy Storage
Hurricane panels of this type are also easily stored. You can stack them right on top of each other in the garage or in the shed. And you won’t ever have to worry about the heat and humidity of Florida affecting them.
Impact Rating
These panels also have a certified Miami-Dade impact rating, which means you are assured that they won’t break and that your family will be kept safe inside as the storm rages outside.
