Hurricane Panels

Hurricane panels are shutters that attach to the walls around windows and doors using bolts or tracks.

Hurricane panels are corrugated, and each piece overlaps the next for maximum strength.

There are three main styles of hurricane panels based on the way the panels are connected to the house;

• 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.
•  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.
• 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 hurricane panels is that homeowners often don’t check them when they buy a home. Many discover that panels are missing or were cut improperly. 

At Russell  Home, we recommend that you check your panels when you purchase a home and contact us if you need replacements or prefer clear panels on a few windows for light.
