Storm Panels: Aluminum, Steel, and Clear Options
Storm panels are available in several material options depending on your budget, opening size, handling preference, visibility needs, and local code requirements. Aluminum, steel, and clear panels all provide storm protection, but they differ in weight, appearance, durability, light transmission, and ease of storage.
Aluminum storm panels are a popular option for homeowners who want reliable hurricane protection with easier handling and storage compared to heavier metal systems. They are custom-measured for each opening and installed using approved tracks, anchors, or fastening systems.
Purpose: Provides practical hurricane protection for windows, doors, and other vulnerable openings
Best for: Homeowners who want a balance of protection, weight, cost, and ease of installation
Key features: Lightweight metal construction, removable setup, custom sizing, and installation with approved attachment systems
Added benefit: Easier to move, install, remove, and store than heavier steel panels
Steel storm panels are built for strong physical protection and durable storm coverage. They create a solid removable barrier over windows, doors, and larger openings when severe weather is approaching.
Purpose: Provides heavy-duty hurricane protection with a strong removable panel system
Best for: Homeowners who prioritize strength, durability, and cost-effective protection over visibility and lighter handling
Key features: Galvanized steel construction, removable installation, custom fit, and secure fastening over vulnerable openings
Added benefit: Offers strong impact protection, though the added weight can make installation, removal, and storage less convenient
Clear storm panels are designed to provide hurricane protection while allowing natural light to pass through. They help protect your home without creating the dark, closed-in feeling that often comes with traditional metal panels.
Purpose: Provides storm protection while preserving daylight and partial visibility
Best for: Homeowners who want hurricane protection without fully blocking light from windows, doors, or living areas
Key features: Transparent or translucent panel material, custom sizing, removable installation, and approved fastening systems based on the opening and code requirements
Important note: Clear storm panels should only be presented as hurricane protection when the specific product is rated, tested, and approved for applicable storm protection requirements.
