Choosing between hurricane windows and external storm protection can be tough. Pricing, existing hurricane protection at your home, and more are all important factors in your decision. Hurricane preparedness is nothing to mess around with!
Hurricane fabric is an excellent option for a lot of people. It is Miami-Dade-rated. That is the strongest rating that you can get. The only downside to hurricane fabric is that some applications are meant to be manually put up. That means you have to grab the power tools, drill holes into your wall, lug heavy materials, and make sure to install it all correctly. And they will deteriorate in the sun.
For example, if you are snow-birding and you leave for 3-6 months at a time, that’s not a good application for the product. However, there are some roll-down applications that you can either:
- manually roll them down
- or they’re electronic and you can put them down with an app on your phone which makes it very convenient.
You can do this from anywhere in the world. That makes this a great product that is priced very well.
