HURRICANE PROTECTION
beach therapy vacations…we'll blow you away!
(Picture taken one day after Hurricane Dean, Mexico)
When a hurricane threatens, your primary concern is for the safety of your family. But your condo/house is important too, and even though you may be evacuating the area, your home requires whatever form of protection you can provide. The key is to make plans and provisions to protect your assets long before a hurricane becomes anything more than an unpleasant possibility. This way, when a storm does threaten, you can concentrate on the safety of your family and know that you have done your best to protect your home. Hurricane shutters continue to provide the most protection you can purchase to protect your investment and remain the most economical solution for most homeowners to protect window openings during a storm. Guard yourself against unnecessary opportunistic vandalism which is occurs post hurricanes.

Accordion Hurricane Shutters
These shutters are a very strong and durable shutter that moves horizontally between an upper and lower track. Interlocking aluminum blades make up the protective wall of the shutter. The accordion shutter glides along on tracks and a wheel assembly, which provides easy free gliding movements. The accordion shutter can open or close as one unit, move from left to right or right to left. For larger areas it can have a center opening, so that half the shutter moves toward the right and the other half towards the left. These one or two-piece hurricane shutters are housed beside the windows or doors when not in use. They unfold accordion-style to cover and protect during a storm and fold back compactly similar to a louvered door.
