1. Different types of Hurricane Shutters
Beyond any reasonable doubt, hurricane shutters are proving to the best alternative to offer protection to
human life & precious property, especially in hurricane prone areas. There are available various different
kinds of hurricane shutters hence no matter what budget one has for hurricane shutters, he may find one
under his budget. Few popular varieties of hurricane shutters include Automatic roll down shutters, Bahama
shutters, Accordion shutters, Awning shutters, Plywood shutters, Storm panel shutters, etc.
Automatic roll down shutters are basically metal louver shutters, PVC or pre-installed shutters. They are
generally housed above the window & rolled down when they are required. If they feature an automatic
motor then they can be installed with a switch. The cost of these shutters may vary between $20 - $35/square
foot of the window area. Accordion shutters are also pre-installed & they are housed either in a box at the
side of door or the window. The cost of these shutters may vary between $15-$25/square foot.
Next popular variety is Bahama Shutters. They are pre-installed & used as a shade when they are not required.
However, they are available in various different prices but opting for a cheaper Bahama shutter may not make
any sense since they might not ensure utmost protection against flying debris. Awning Shutters bear striking
resemblance with Bahama shutters but the major conspicuous difference is that, it is awning which offers a
shade in place of louvered shade in Awning shutters. In terms of prices also, Awning shutters are akin to
Bahama shutters. The cost of these shutters may vary between $15-$20/square foot.
Storm Panel Shutters are either made of aluminum or steel & they are stored away, when they are not
required. Installing these kinds of shutters may be bit difficult. The cost of these shutters may vary between
$7-$15/square foot of the area of coverage. Plywood shutters are extremely affordable but one needs to build
a plywood shutter by himself. The other downside of the plywood shutters is that they are heavy & one may
experience discomfort while installing them. If one is still keen about making a plywood shutter by himself
then he should keep in his mind that plywood shutters should be at least 5/8 inch plywood & they are
fastened to building with lag bolts or either barrel bolts. In the wake of the availability of these effective
hurricane shutters, one can really ensure the protection to his life & his property.
