Hurricane shutters remain the most economical solution for most homeowners to protect window openings in a storm

Prepare ahead of time, say experts, particularly with panels and plywood protection. Make sure the right tools and hardware are on hand before the storm nears. Here's the lowdown on hurricane storm panel shutters and window protection.

These steel or aluminum shutters attach to the walls around windows and doors on bolts or tracks. Storm panels are corrugated, and each piece overlaps the next for maximum strength. There are several styles of storm panels to choose from.

Storm panel hurricane shutters

The first style incorporates both tracks and bolts. The top of the panel is slipped into a track above the window, and the bottom of the panel is secured to bolts that are permanently attached beneath the window.

Storm window panels are the least expensive type of approved storm protection!

The second style uses a set of C-shaped tracks above and below the windows and doors. Bolts slide into the tracks from either side and must be manually aligned with the holes on the panels.

Storm Panel Type 3

A house with a lot of windows and a roof.

The third style uses only bolts permanently set into the wall beside the windows and doors. They can be loosened as the panel is hung horizontally, and screwed down to secure it.

The biggest problem with storm panels is that homeowners often don't check them when they buy a home. Many discover later that panels are missing or were cut improperly, or are too heavy to install themselves.
