Hurricane Protection Options for Your Home
Not every homeowner needs the same type of hurricane protection.
Some homeowners want an economical removable system they only install when a storm approaches. Others want permanent shutters that can be closed quickly without carrying or storing individual panels.
We’ll help you compare your options.
Hurricane Panels
Hurricane panels provide strong, cost-effective storm protection for windows, doors, and other exterior openings.
Panels are installed using permanently mounted tracks or attachment points and can be removed and stored when hurricane protection isn’t needed.
They’re an excellent option for homeowners looking for dependable opening protection without the cost of a permanently deployed shutter system.
Best for: Cost-conscious homeowners who don’t mind installing panels before a storm.
Hurricane Fabric
Hurricane fabric provides lightweight, removable protection against windborne debris without the weight and storage requirements of traditional metal panels.
Fabric systems can be custom sized for windows, doors, lanais, and other openings and stored compactly when not in use.
U.S. Code Compliance offers approved hurricane fabric systems, including AstroGuard products where appropriate for the project.
Best for: Homeowners looking for lightweight protection that’s easier to handle and store.
Accordion Hurricane Shutters
Accordion shutters provide permanent hurricane protection that’s ready when you need it.
The shutters remain mounted beside the opening and slide closed when a storm approaches, eliminating the need to retrieve and install individual panels.
They’re especially convenient for larger windows, sliding glass doors, and homeowners who want hurricane preparation to be faster and easier.
Best for: Homeowners who want permanent protection with quick deployment.
Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters
Roll-down shutters offer one of the most convenient hurricane-protection options available.
The shutter remains permanently installed above the opening and lowers when protection is needed. Depending on the selected system, operation may be manual or motorized.
In addition to storm protection, roll-down shutters may provide additional privacy, security, and sun control.
Best for: Homeowners prioritizing convenience and ease of operation.
Not Sure Which Hurricane Shutter Is Right for Your Home?
That’s where we can help.
We’ll evaluate your home’s openings and discuss the following:
- Opening sizes and locations
- Windows, doors, sliders, and lanais
- Ease of deployment
- Storage requirements
- Appearance
- Budget
- Applicable product approvals and installation requirements
- Your current Wind Mitigation opening-protection status
Rather than trying to sell every homeowner the same system, we’ll help determine which protection makes sense for your property.
Hurricane Shutters & Your Wind Mitigation Inspection
Hurricane shutters aren’t only about preparing for the next storm.
Opening protection is also evaluated as part of Florida’s Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection, commonly called a Wind Mitigation inspection.
Qualifying hurricane shutters, impact-rated windows, impact-rated doors, and other approved protection may affect how the home’s opening protection is documented on the Wind Mitigation report.
However, the requirements can be very specific.
Having hurricane protection on some windows does not necessarily mean the entire home qualifies for an opening-protection designation.
Already Have a Wind Mitigation Report?
Send it to us.
Our team can review the opening-protection portion of your existing Wind Mitigation report and help identify openings that may prevent the home from qualifying for a particular opening-protection designation.
We can then discuss the available options for protecting those openings.
Insurance discounts and eligibility vary by home, carrier, policy, product, and installation. U.S. Code Compliance does not guarantee a specific insurance premium reduction.
More Than Just a Hurricane Shutter Company
One of the things that makes U.S. Code Compliance different is our understanding of the entire Wind Mitigation process.
We’re not only installing hurricane protection.
Our company also specializes in the following:
- Third Nail retrofits
- Hurricane clip retrofits
- Hurricane strap and single-wrap upgrades
- Roof-to-wall connection improvements
- Wind Mitigation inspections
- 4-Point inspections
- Roof certifications
- Impact windows and doors
- Hurricane opening protection
That allows us to look at your home’s storm protection from more than one perspective.
If your goal is improving your home’s hurricane preparedness and Wind Mitigation features, we can help identify multiple areas that may be worth addressing.
Professional Installation Matters
A hurricane-protection product is only as good as its installation.
Our team installs qualifying products according to applicable manufacturer requirements, Florida Building Code requirements, and Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA requirements where applicable to the selected product and project.
Installation may include the following:
- Measuring individual openings
- Properly sizing the selected protection system
- Installation of tracks, anchors, and mounting hardware
- Required fasteners and attachment patterns
- Operational testing
- Installation documentation
- Cleanup of the immediate work area
Our goal is to provide a clean, professional installation that’s ready when you need it.
