Home Performance Alliance
With hurricane season in full swing, it’s even more critical to understand your options when it comes to shutters. The mark of hurricane season in the gulf is around June through November. Shutters can protect your windows, your home, and, most importantly, you. Guard your home against debris, wind, rain, and anything else the storm has to offer. Read below to learn about the different kinds of hurricane shutters you should be investing in this hurricane season. 
7 Different Types of Hurricane Shutters 

Rolling Shutters: Like the name, these shutters roll up and down for easy access. Easy to use and provide safety from hurricanes. Another fantastic plus side to these shutters is its excellent insulation. This will help you trap in cold air and keep hot air out, saving you money on your electric bill. 

Storm Panels: Storm panels work well as a quick fix. If you’re running out of time and there’s a hurricane inbound, invest in some storm panels before it’s too late! Storm panels come in a variety of materials, such as steel and aluminum.
 
Colonial Shutters: This classic look will make your home stunning! When a storm is coming, all you have to do is fold the shutters inwards to protect the window. 

Bermuda/Bahama Shutters: These shutters are unique and helpful when it comes to storms. Bermuda shutters are popular in the south due to their versatility. Bermuda or Bahama shutters are very easy to move up and down, perfect for when there’s no hurricane or an incoming one.
 
Duraseal™ Warm-edge Spacer: provides exceptional storm protection and superb thermal efficiency.

DuraShield Impact Windows: 125 mph winds have met their match with DuraSheild Impact Windows. Ensure your family’s safety and protect your home from any loose storm debris. 

Structurally Reinforced Vinyl Frame: with all corners fused at high temperatures for extraordinary strength, multiple internal chambers provide optimal insulation.

When Gary Delia founded Home Performance Alliance (HPA) in 2011, he was already viewed as an expert in the home improvement industry.    Delia began his career in Pennsylvania with Appleby Systems, one of the most respected home improvement companies. After 14 years with the firm, he and his family relocated to Florida where he worked as a consultant prior to launching HPA.   Due to several severe and damaging hurricane seasons in the past decade, the state of Florida enacted multiple building code changes. Home insurers and code authorities viewed windows as the weakest link in protecting a home during severe weather and thus enacted new building codes requiring all newly installed windows have higher design pressure (DP) ratings . The higher the DP value, the more wind, water, or structural load a window can withstand - including hurricane-force winds up to 200 mph. In addition to the codes, rebate and tax incentives from the State of Florida and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management

Protect your family and home when you replace your traditional windows with impact windows today. Impact windows are strong and durable, and prevent strong winds and intruders from coming into your house.  You’ll also notice energy savings when you replace your windows with impact windows. Impact windows are well insulated and keep the cool air in your home during the hot summer months, and the warmer air in your home during the cooler winter months.  Learn everything you need to know about impact windows here.  Impact-resistant windows are made up of heavy-duty frames and impact-resistant laminated glass. A special silicone glazing process is used to keep the glass from breaking away from the frame. The impact-resistant glass is made up of two panes of glass bonded together with a special interlayer of clear polyvinyl butyral.  Impact windows are similar to car windshields, except they’re three times stronger. Because of the two bonded panes and special interlayer, even a 2 x 4 travel
