How Hurricane Screens Can Help in Floridian Summer

Hurricane protection is a no-brainer, especially during the Atlantic Storm Season which brings several major hurricanes to the coast each year. While many home and business owners recognize that having hurricane protection is invaluable, there are still those who need a bit more convincing to invest. These are often the same people who spend excessively on their comprehensive insurance policy, and have to dedicate weeks to months each year in recovering from each hurricane season. Hurricane protection has changed dramatically in recent years, due to changes in technology and the availability of certain resources. Many Americans are now considering installing hurricane windows or clear panels in their homes for the added security year-round, among other bonuses. Our sun and storm protection offerings can be helpful in deciding whether or not your home needs additional protections, such as hurricane screen installation!

Provide UV Protection

We all know that Ultraviolet (UV) rays have a negative effect on our bodies, and many have good habits of using sunscreen or covering up when in certain exposures of sunlight. Although we often don’t think about the protection we need in our own homes, as the home feels like a safe and secure space. Sadly, the sun doesn’t care whether you’re in your home or out on the street, it will still shine out those harmful UV rays on whatever.

99% Protection

Our hurricane screen installation can offer up to 99% UV protection due to the materials used and the way in which they are made. This can not only protect your family from the effects of prolonged UV exposure, but also your furnishings, fixtures, and carpet, all of which can fade from excessive exposure.

Shutters to Guide the Light In

An increasingly popular form of hurricane protection is the variety of different shutter systems which have become available. There are manual shutter systems such as the Bahama and Colonial styles, although these offer little to no benefits in Summer. Automatic rolling shutters however, offer the added bonus of being able to limit the amount of light coming into your home. Not only can this affect the lighting in your home, but also the heating, with the option of stopping excess heat from entering.

As previously mentioned these do come in automatic options, although they are substantially more expensive than their manual counterparts. If you’re unsure as to what your exact requirements are, consider checking out a showroom which has manual shutters for you to try operating. If you’re capable of adjusting them by yourself then they may be a better option for now. Whereas if you struggle with the manual shutters, then investing in automatic shutters may be a better option. Especially considering how much more difficult manual shutters may be to instigate during a storm or windy weather.

Improve Energy Efficiency with Hurricane Screen Installation

Being able to limit the amount of light and heat entering your home means you can also save on lighting and heating bills. Different kinds of methods also offer different benefits–this is another area in which hurricane screens can help!

Reduce Outside Noise

Summer can be a noisy time of year, especially if you have a lot of kids in your neighborhood. At this time many people are still having to work remotely which in many cases means from home. Trying to do your medical billing job while there are children outside screaming and laughing can seem like a nightmare. Thankfully most impact windows offer a huge amount of noise reduction. While this isn’t much of a seasonal benefit, it can help to counteract a reality of Summer which is the ability for people to be outside being noisy.

Stop or Deter Burglars

Again, this isn’t such a seasonal benefit as it is an all-round benefit for you, your family, your home, and all of your possessions. Many impact windows have been designed to withstand impacts from debris thrown by high velocity winds. This is generally much more than what your average thief is able to muster up, and in the worst case scenario where they do actually break in, the glass won’t shatter meaning cleaning up is much easier. While this is one of the smaller benefits of Hurricane window installation in Sarasota FL, residents may be particularly relieved by installing impact windows considering the recent string of burglaries taking place.
