A look at Main types of Storm Shutters

Storms and hurricanes can be damaging and leave
your house in a bad state in the aftermath. Strom
shutters are therefore necessary in regions that
are frequented by storms, hurricanes, tornadoes
etc. Before you decide on a particular shutter,
it is important to know about their types. This
can help you in judging the one suitable for you
and fitting the budget.

Rolling Storm Shutters
Rolling shutters as the name suggests can roll up
or down as the need be. The rolling action can be
either manual or automatic. In case of manual
ones, the deployment has to be done from the
outside while the automatic shutter can be
activated from the inside. Rolling storm
shutters have louvered panels that hinge and join
each other and get rolled in an enclosure that
sits above the doors or windows.

Accordion Storm Shutters
Accordion hurricane shutters also consist of
louvered and hinged panels like rolling shutters.
However they open sideways instead of vertically.
They are installed beside the doors, windows and
other openings and need to be deployed from
outside. They are extremely durable, economical
and easy to operate.
Colonial Storm Shutters
Colonial hurricane shutters not only provide
protection from storm but also lend a very
sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing look to
the exterior of your house. They are louvered and
hinged on the side of the windows and available
in bi-fold and tri-fold configurations. They need
to be operated from the outside. They are
relatively expensive than other types.

Storm Panels
The Hurricane or Storm panels are made from
steel, aluminum or clear polycarbonate composite.
They are corrugated and possess the ability to be
stored away when not in use. Storm panels either
slide in tracks above and below the openings or
they are fastened directly to the walls. They
are the most cost effective solution for
protection against storms and bad weather while
also being highly durable. Storm panels are the
ones to go if you need excellent protection in a
stricter budget.

Bahama Shutters
Bahama Shutters offer a classical way to protect
your property from storms. They ooze out the
tropical island feel due to their build and
operation. Bahama shutters are made out of a
single louvered panel hinged at the top like a
casement and look the most stylish among the lot.
They can double up to provide shade in front of
the windows and swing down when the weather gets
rough.
Awning Storm Shutters
Awning shutters have an awning made out of high
strength and durable fabric that provides shade
during sunny days and can fold down to protect
against hurricanes. Awning shutters are
economical and light weight apart from being easy
to operate. However, they are not considered as
tough as the other types and hence should be used
in areas with lower frequency and intensity of
storms.
