STORM PANELS A  Benefits Analysis You can categorize storm panels in a number of ways.  There’s cost.  Effectiveness.  Ease of installation.  Aesthetic allure.  No matter what you use as your measuring stick, the ideal storm panels that continue to emerge as a favorite are made of polycarbonate.  Read below and discover what makes these storm panels so coveted – and then contact R S Supply and stock up before hurricane season arrives.  (If you wait until the season commences, it’s no problem either – R S Supply levies no custom cut charge and can ship within days.) Cost – When lightweight storm panels this strong are priced competitively with aluminum shutters, there’s no reason to choose anything else.  Sure, standard plywood is less expensive, but it’s also much more cumbersome to install.  (Splinters anyone?)  Also, expect to replace plywood on a regular basis.  Unlike watertight polycarbonate, plywood warps when damp. Effectiveness – Not all polycarbonate storm shutters are created equal.  Ensure yours are Miami Dade certified, and you’ll have a product that withstands high velocity winds. Ease of installation – Carry the polycarbonate storm panels from your garage.  Screw them into place.  And then go back inside and resume your life while your neighbors wrestle with heavy aluminum or splintering wood. Aesthetic allure – Polycarbonate storm panels are available in a variety of colors, but the most popular is clear.  Non-colored polycarbonate is UV resistant, lets the light shine into a residence, and does not mar the aesthetic appeal of your home.
