Storm Shutters 101
What type of hurricane shutters do I need?
The type of hurricane shutters you need for your home depends on your budget, style preferences, the level of protection you’re looking for and factors such as local building codes and HOA restrictions.
To get specific hurricane shutter recommendations, check to see if a free in-home consultation with a Home Depot authorized service provider is available in your area.
Are hurricane shutters worth the investment?
When a hurricane or severe storm hits, the strong winds can damage your home. Hurricane shutters, or storm shutters, act as a barrier against the wind to protect your windows from shattering and preventing flying debris, rain, and damaging wind from entering your home. Utlimately, storm shutters can help keep your family and your home safe.
How often should I replace my storm shutters or get maintenance?
With regular maintenance and upkeep, you will be able to keep your hurricane shutters in top operating condition for years. We suggest checking for signs of damage, removing any debris or corrosive materials and lubrication every six months. Our Authorized Service Providers can also help with your storm shutter maintenance.
Can I see out of hurricane fabric screens?
Yes, hurricane fabric screens allow you to see out so you can watch as the storm approaches. The fabric screens let light in so your home will not feel as dark and cave-like as other hurricane shutters. It is important to note that hurricane fabric is not available in all locations.
Does getting hurricane shutters installed impact my insurance?
Adding storm protection to your home can make you eligible for homeowner insurance discounts (depending on your insurance company). Contact your agent or insurance company directly to find out what discounts may be available.
As a condo owner, are there additional steps I need to consider before installation?
Before requesting installation services, check with your Homeowners Association to ensure you are allowed to install shutters and find out if there are any restrictions regarding the type or color.
Do I need impact windows and hurricane shutters?
Most homeowners do not need both impact windows and hurricane shutters. If your home is in an area that experiences hurricane-force winds or extreme weather, the best option is to replace standard glass windows with impact-resistant windows. If impact windows aren’t an option, hurricane shutter installation is a worthwhile investment for protecting your home from storm damage.
