Hurricane Shutters Professionally Installed in Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach, FL

Installing hurricane shutters is one of the best ways to protect your home. Hurricane shutters are designed to protect all exposed windows, glass surfaces, doors and gable vents. 

Hometown Contractors offers both permanent and temporary hurricane shutters for protection of windows as well as gable end vents, patio doors, exterior doors and garage doors.

Most hurricane shutters offered by Hometown Contractors are Miami Dade impact rated and meet all state requirements for wind mitigation credits.   

Permanent hurricane shutter types offered by Hometown Contractors include Accordion Shutters, Bahama Shutters, Colonial Shutters and Rolling Shutters.  Permanent shutters do not require any storage as the shutters are mounted over the opening and are ready to be deployed at a moments notice.  They require no heavy lifting and can provide security to the home as well.  Many homeowners choose permanent hurricane shutters such as Bahamas or Colonial Hurricane Shutters to add an attractive décor to the home.  

Temporary shutter types offered by Hometown Contractors include Aluminum Storm Panels, Clear Storm Panels, Fabric Shield Storm Panels, and Steel Storm Panels.  Temporary shutters are installed using approved hardware secured into the main structure of the home and require storage of the panels when not deployed.  Temporary shutters are a popular choice among homeowners because of their simple installation and quick removal.  Panels, which are light in weight and are much easier to handle then plywood, can be installed vertically or horizontally.  Aluminum, Clear and Steel Panels are corrugated and can be stacked on top of each other for easy storage.  The fabric shield storm panels can be rolled, folded or hung for simple storage.

Four Factors to Consider When Purchasing Hurricane Shutters
1.  Opening Location – In the case of a window on an upper floor or hard to reach area, the shutter should be operable from the inside.  Accordion Shutters or Roll-down shutters are often the easiest to operate in these conditions.

2.  Ease of Operation – A homeowner must be able to physically deploy the shutters in the event of a storm.  Many hurricanes hit our area when the weather is extremely hot, a homeowner should consider any medical conditions that could be affected during the deployment of shutters.

3.  Installation – Are the shutters you are purchasing being installed to meet the local building codes?  Hurricane shutters not properly installed can fail during a storm and become projectiles that could cause severe injury or death. 

4. Budget – Pricing of hurricane shutters are calculated based on several criteria including type of shutter, size of opening(s), installation method and number of openings.  Have a Hometown Design Consultant come to your home and make recommendations on what shutter configuration may be best for your home.

Easy Operating Accordion Hurricane Shutters
High Velocity Accordion Shutters are a popular source of hurricane protection since they require no storage or lifting and require very little effort to operate.  Permanently mounted, accordion shutters can provide complete protection at a moments notice.  They are great for covering entry doors and patio doors as they provide additional security with a lock on each shutter.  Many homeowners choose the accordion shutter for windows on second or third floors because they can be secured from inside the home with an interior push button lock.  Accordion shutters are available in white, beige, bronze, or tan. 

Economical Storm Panels
Aluminum Storm Panels are very cost-effective way to protect your home.  Our .050 aluminum panels are lightweight making them easy to deploy, remove and store.  Storage is made simple as the corrugated panels are designed to overlap and can be stacked on top of each other. Aluminum and Steel Panels are much lighter, easier and safer then using plywood and can be mixed with clear panels to allow light into the home.  Aluminum or Steel Panels can be installed in a vertical application with a permanent header and sill or horizontal with a direct stud mount application.

Clear Storm Panels
Clear Storm Panels provide an economical way to protect your home that will allow you to see out and let the light in.  Clear Storm panels are compatible with Aluminum Storm Panels and can be mixed with our aluminum panels.  Clear Panels do not have any sharp edges, providing a safe and easy system to deploy and remove.  Like the aluminum panels, the Clear Panels can be installed in a vertical application with a permanent header and sill or horizontal with a direct stud mount.     

Bahama Shutters
Bahama Shutters are architecturally pleasing and add character to the home.  Bahama shutters provide convenient light, ventilation and privacy control in daily use.  If you have a problem window that allows too much sunlight and heat into the home, the Bahama shutter may be your answer to allow immediate shade control and offer great protection during a storm.    

Colonial Shutters
Colonial shutters offer superior storm protection while being one of the most architecturally pleasing options.  Permanently mounted to the home, Colonial Shutters offer simple operation as they are hinged and easily swing closed and latch secure.    

Fabric Shield Storm Panels
Wayne-Dalton Fabric Shield Storm Panels are a highly-effective alternative to steel or aluminum storm panels. These PVC coated woven fabric panels are tested to block wind, rain and storm-driven projectiles.  Extremely lightweight and easy to handle, the Fabric Shield Storm Panels can easily be folded, rolled, or hung for simple storage.  The fabric is a natural translucent white color enabling homeowners to have more light in the house during the day.

Rolling Hurricane Shutters
Rolling Shutters are an excellent source of protection that often are used to keep the heat out of the home when there is no storm.  Many homeowners use the Rolling Shutters to secure the home while on vacation or away for the weekend.    With their sturdy construction of double-walled, aluminum slats and interlocking fit, they stand up to the impact of flying objects and are secure against wind-blown water and rain.  Rolling Shutters can be opened and closed from inside the home using a hand crank or by the push of a button with electric Rolling Shutters.
