Florida, of all the states, is the most hurricane-prone. Every year, hurricanes cost Floridians millions of dollars. With the increasing amount of hurricanes that current climate conditions are generating, no one knows how devastating the next hurricane can be. For those who own property in Florida, hurricane protection ought to be a highest priority. How can you keep your family safe? How can you protect your clients or customers in the event of a damaging storm? How can you avoid total personal financial ruin by the loss of your property?

Awning Works, Inc. has a solution. Often, one strategic means of protecting your home or business during a hurricane is using one of the following options on your doors and windows: roll shutters, accordion shutters, or Bahama shutters.

Roll shutters are a convenient and sturdy way to protect both doors and windows. The roll shutter contains an upper compartment that houses the reel and slats. By turning the tube using a hand-operated crank or an electric motor, the shutter rolls smoothly down the sidetracks and locks into place. The protective slates are interlocking horizontal plates made of double-walled aluminum. The device has been tested against salt water, wind, and sun. With the push of a button or the turn of a handle, you can enjoy an open view, or roll the slats down for protection. The roll shutters are an ideal option for wind and storm protection, for saving on energy costs, for increased home security, and for merely making your property look better. (All roll shutters meet or exceed Dade County Florida Standards.)
