Storm shutters are a fact of life in Florida, and all along the Gulf Coast. Both homes and businesses need sturdy and reliable storm shutters and storm shutter hardware in West Palm Beach and beyond.
While much of the focus is placed on the storm shutters themselves, storm shutter hardware is equally important. From track bolts to keyhole washers, the hardware must meet the highest standards. Without good quality hardware, your storm shutters could fail.
On average, damage from weather-related disasters exceeds $16 billion annually in the United States alone. Who can forget Hurricane Irma, which caused $50 billion in damage along the Gulf Coast, and caused 6 ½ million Floridians to evacuate. Residents who left their homes shuttered against Irma at least had some peace of mind that their homes would still be standing when they returned.
Aluminum storm panels are preferred, but clear panels made of sturdy polycarbonate plastic are also available. Unlike storm shutters, which are permanently bolted to the windows, storm panels are removable. Since storm panels do not obstruct the windows, they are preferred by many retail businesses in West Palm Beach.
However, storm panels must be quickly set up once a storm warning is given. That means reliable and easy-to-use storm shutter hardware in West Palm Beach is important. The right hardware can make it much easier to secure the panels quickly.
