Choosing Efficiency First

If you're a homeowner who lives in the Northeastern part of the US, there are three clear reasons you should install new storm shutters. New installations not only protect homes that don't currently have shutters, but they offer advantages to homes that have old or outdated ones. So if you're interested in making an impacting (and impact-resistant) change to your Northeaster residence, you should definitely see what new storm shutters offer your home.

Unparallelled Protection

When storm shutters meet the current Floridian standards, which are the most stringent in the industry, you'll add protection to your home that's unparalleled. This means that your home will be afforded maximum protection against everything from conditional changes, like snowstorms, hail, and hurricanes, to security threats, like vandalism and burglary.

Easier Operation

New storm shutters can be operated either with automated electronic controls or through easy-to-use manual inclusions, like rollers, cranks, or simple hinge systems. Standard Bahamian, louver, or colonial styles are simple to open and close manually, while accordion or roll-down shutters can be both manually-operated and automated. Automated systems typically include manual overrides that give you the option of using your shutters even if the power has gone out. So there's no excuse not to protect your home in the event of a storm or while you're away on vacation.

Extra Incentives

There are monetary incentives, like tax breaks, and insurance discounts that come with installing shutters onto your residential windows. If you don't have shutters on your home already and are hesitant about investing, knowing that you can get monetary returns and worry-free protection for years should be all you need to know to make the investment.

Though not all storm shutters are alike in appearance, some styles can also offer a beneficial facelift to your home's facade. Louver, Bahamian, and Colonial storm shutters can exceed the needs of your local building code requirements, providing excellent protection to your home, and they will enhance the beauty of your exterior as well. These styles are available in wood, composites, and metals, offering you the choice of the material that works best for your home. Each of these shutters can be stained, painted, or galvanized with color coats to look great without maintenance for years.

If you're looking for the total package in protection and style for your Northeastern abode, you should consider updating your windows and even doors with high-quality, impact-resistant storm shutters.
