– Advisories will now be issued for potential tropical cyclones before the storms even form
– Storm surge watches and warnings will be issued
– Earliest reasonable arrival of storm force winds will be part of the forecast

While the National Hurricane Center is doing all it can to help get better more complete warnings out in plenty of time to keep everyone safe, it is also up to each household to do their part for hurricane protection as well. Installing hurricane panels in advance of hurricane season is the best way to protect your property and your family. Panels, shutters, screens, and impact film protection can make a huge difference in your personal safety. In addition, many homeowner insurance policies recognize the importance of hurricane prevention measures and will give you a discount on your premiums to help compensate for the cost of instillation.
Hurricane Season
There are several improvements you can make to your home to provide hurricane protection that insurance companies recognize as valuable and offer discounts for.
– Panel shutters or hurricane-impact glass can protect your windows during hurricane-force winds.
– Other types of hurricane panels such as flat or corrugated panels can protect larger openings in your home such as doors.
– Screens offer a protection for larger openings, rounded glass, or other odd-shaped openings.
Make sure the improvements meet state and county building codes and any regulations by the Office of Insurance Regulation. Your insurance company might want to send an inspector to verify the improvements.
The initial investment to upgrade your home with hurricane safe products will be recovered over time by the discount your insurance company will offer. The better quality products that you use, the greater your discount might be.

Install Hurricane Panels
If you live in Florida, then you have insurance on your home or business to cover the damage from a hurricane’s strong winds and torrential rain. Many insurance companies will reduce your rates when you have specialized storm protection devices such as hurricane panels. At Hurricane Safe Products in Sarasota, Fla., we have the protective devices required for residential and commercial structures.
Fast Storm Protection
Hurricane protection devices are essential in Florida to protect a building’s interior from water and wind damage. Hurricane panels are made of durable materials and are designed to slide over a building’s windows and doorways to keep out the water from a storm. The devices are customized to fit properly over a building’s doors or windows, and you can slide the items over the openings quickly.

After the technicians from Hurricane Safe Products install hurricane panels on your home or business, we can provide documentation for your insurance company to help you reduce your rates. With high-quality storm protection on a building, your insurance company knows that you are less likely to make a claim for repairs to a business or home.
Be prepared
Yes! Good hurricane protection doesn’t happen in the few hours just before the storm hits. Winter is a good time to evaluate your home or business for storm protection needs, decide which method best fits your building and budget, investigate the options, and determine whether you can do the work yourself or you should hire a contractor.
Hammering up plywood panels as the wind is already rising and the rain is falling is sure to leave gaps in your protection and damage your building. It won’t be much fun for you either! By reviewing your options now, you can choose methods that will not only protect your property but can also improve its energy efficiency. Clear Tek flat panels and impact windows, for example, both resist flying debris and also seal out heat and noise and make it harder for intruders to break in. Cheap hurricane panels bought and installed at the last minute won’t perform as well.
Don’t wait until hurricane season starts in June to start thinking about protecting your property. Save yourself stress! Call Hurricane Safe Products today and be prepared!
Getting a storm
Having hurricane-mitigation improvements (like hurricane panels) protecting can save business owners on the cost to insure their businesses. Owning a business in an area that is vulnerable to direct or indirect impact of hurricanes means having to take these extra precautionary steps to ensure the safety of your business during inclement weather conditions. In Florida, when there is a hurricane, we know to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
