Storm Panels-Economical Hurricane Protection
Hurricane storm panels are available in either .050 aluminum or clear polycarbonate-(commonly referred to as Lexan)
Both types provide the same level of protection. Up to 170 mph wind and large missile impact protection. The main differences are:
Clear polycarbonate
- Water clear-allow light to enter your home
- Lighter than aluminum panels
- No sharp edges like aluminum panels
Aluminum panels
- Allow no light to enter your home
- Heavier than clear panels
- May be the only option for some openings
