For residents of Port Charlotte, FL and Punta Gorda, FL the hurricane season might be over, but worry season has begun. Florida’s long lucky streak of not even a passing glance from a tropical depression came to a screeching end. There’s been a lot of building in Florida in the last ten years, and a number of new Floridians have come to the Sunshine State, but not a lot of people are familiar with ways to protect their homes with hurricane impact windows and hurricane shutters.
- Hurricane impact windows and doors are windows that are engineered to withstand flying debris thrown by hurricane winds.
- Hurricane shutters come in accordion, roll-down, or panels that cover points of entry like windows, doors, and even garage doors or roof vents.
These items will help to protect your home from winds, debris, and other hazards. While there is no way to one hundred percent hurricane-proof your home, these can go a long way to making sure that your home takes much less damage than it would if you were completely unprotected. Hurricane windows and doors are also a great burglar deterrent since most crooks find they can’t force through or break them. Likewise, roll-down and accordion shutters will make most burglars move on. You may even get a break on your homeowner’s insurance policy – which is great since you won’t be getting one from Citizens Insurance.
