Anyone with Hurricane Shutters?

| Knew an OES lady in Florida who had them on her house. Really liked them for sun control, security as well as protection in storms. |
Well, not quite. But have something quite similar. I have the same version as the overhead door on our barn. It BIG - 12 x 12 I think and it holds up perfect in our summer storms/tornadoes and winter blizzards. It's been in place for many years - maybe about 10 yrs now. If it can hold up in a wide expanse like a big barn door, it should do even better on windows.   Then I got one for my garage too -  |

| Hi Diane, I have several friends with houses in Florida that have hurricane shutters. They work very well. None of them has lost windows in any hurricane. However, a caution about electric shutters, if the power goes/stays out for a period of time you may not be able to open them and will be living in the dark. Make sure they come with an option to open them manually. My parents do not have hurricane shutters on their winter house in Florida. They have hurricane glass and also have not had any problems.

Love the pictures with the fur babies supervising!  The shutters we are going with are automatic roll ups - and yes, you can lower and raise manually by crank in a power outage. On the rest of the windows that don't face the water prone side we are using clear vu screens they are called - can withstand winds to 175 miles and hour. They help keep out the sun rays during the summer months too - whcih is nice fior my Great Room that bakes all summer long! Of course, we all hope we won't need to use! |
