Roll Shutters are by far the most
convenient and easiest storm shutter product available. The roll
up shutter can be designed to fit virtually any opening and it can
be operated manually with crank handles from inside or outside of
the building. You can motorize the shutters with manual overrides
and totally automate the operation with timed opening and closing
or with wind sensors that close the shutters when a wind exceeds
a certain preset value. They are, due to the ease of operation,
used for all sorts of occasions like security, light and sound control
and insulation. Properly installed roll-up shutters have a minimum
impact on the architectural integrity of your property. |

Bahama Shutters are similar
in design to the Colonial Shutter. Bahama shutters cover windows
at an angle when open giving the house a Bahamian appearance. The
Bahama shutter also reduces the amount of sunlight entering the
window. Simply lowering and latching the shutter provides protection.

Colonial Shutters open to
the outside of the window promoting the look of a Colonial Estate.
Before a storm comes, the shutters are simply closed and latched.
Colonial and Bahama Shutters are an excellent choice for a positive
architectural look and easy use in the event of a hurricane. They
provide security and control of light and sound with a minimum of
maintenance. The closing of the shutters are accomplished in most
cases from the outside. The second floor openings only available
by ladder in some cases can be secured from inside. However, windows
that open outward prevent closure from inside and a ladder will
be required to secure Bahama and Colonial shutters on second floor
or higher situations. |

Accordion Shutters provide
excellent storm protection, security, sound and light control. They
are most often secured from outside but can be secured from the
inside easily when the opening is a sliding window or door or a
door that swings in when opened. This limitation could affect second
floor closing with windows or doors that swing outward. Accordion
shutters can have a significant impact on the architecture of a
building. Careful installation design is recommended to minimize
that affect. They are permanently stacked at the sides of each opening
and can be secured quickly. |

Storm Panels are simple and effective hurricane shutters. They
are most often secured outside but can be designed for inside closure
for sliding glass doors and windows in some situations. They can
be installed vertically or horizontally as works best for each opening.
They can be installed using permanently installed headers and sills
or can be installed using. The Tampin(R) Brand Machine Screw Anchor
is a simple fastener that installs a threaded attach point for a
sidewalk bolt to hold the panels in place. Also the use of Tampins(R)
reduces the architectural impact on the property as there is no
hardware showing except the head of the sidewalk bolt. Panels must
be safely and securely stored when not in use. The threat of a storm
will require you to install the panels for each opening in advance.
