Shutter Outlet

Most things have evolved. New concepts in vehicles lead to safer cars, advancements in energy and space travel, and computer development so far advanced it makes you wonder what can be coming down the pike.
The same holds for products related to severe weather protection. Our industry has seen tremendous growth over the past few years. New engineered systems have been introduced and tested under the most stringent conditions to see how they would perform in hurricanes and straight-line storms. The days of foam-filled slats for roll-down shutters are a thing of the past unless you want them for sun protection. The current roll-down system is made with the strongest extruded aluminum slats tested for both wind load and impact in accordance with the Florida Building Code.
The accordion fold system has seen tremendous changes as well, with stronger blades and locks, the elimination of locking rods, and the use of thumb screws to secure the system when closed, which unfortunately will corrode over time. Today's accordions have blades that interlock from top to bottom, eliminating any other means of locking the system except for the push-button key locks. Removable bottom tracks for the accordion, as well as walk-over tracks, are available if needed. Radius tracks are available for balconies and larger spans, so the shutters are stacked on a wall rather than blocking your view.
There are still 4 months left in the hurricane season, and no one knows what it may bring. Being sure your property is protected will give you peace of mind, knowing you've taken every precaution available to you.

Decades in this business have shown us that homeowners do want to protect their properties and will find a way to do so without breaking the bank. If there wasn't interest in doing so, then why have we installed thousands of shutters? Cost is a concern, but aren't some costs more important than others? For example, you want to plan a family vacation, and you price out everything like lodging, airline tickets, food, drinks, gratuity, and even souvenirs, all at a cost of about $4500. Why not consider skipping the vacation this year, maybe taking a mini vacation locally at the beach and spending that money protecting your home? Then, next year, you can leave home on that vacation knowing that if anything bubbles up in the Atlantic, you're protected. It's called being proactive. Don't put off until tomorrow what you should do today.

SHUTTER OUTLET OPPORTUNITY!
Still quiet as a church mouse in the mighty Atlantic. FOR NOW. It's been a little slow this season. But that can be a good thing, as our factory workers are getting a chance between jobs to do a much-needed inventory and organize the shop, which can only be done during slow times. They've come across quite a stockpile of materials, stacked away in a corner, covered with tarps, and forgotten. We can use this material for upcoming jobs that we can offer at reduced prices. The only hitch is that the materials are for accordion shutters and in white only. This was material from a canceled project where we'd already ordered and paid our supplier, and the client had to back out due to some legal issues. Their loss is also our loss, as the cost of the material has gone up over 50% since it was purchased, but it could be a game-changer for potential customers. We have enough material for about five average jobs, with 6 to 8 openings each. If you fall into that category, act fast and secure a spot on our schedule by contacting us today to take advantage of this opportunity to save while it lasts.

Educating people can be easy or hard depending on what topic is being discussed. When it comes to protecting or not protecting your property, that is today's lesson. We think of hurricane season from June through November as the only time hurricanes could come our way. However, if you follow the weather, as many folks do, you may or may not be surprised by the damage that can occur after a straight-line wind with speeds reaching 75 mph or more rips through a neighborhood. Those are hurricane speeds. You'll see videos of severely damaged homes that could have sustained far less damage if windows and doors had been protected. These straight-line thunderstorms have no GPS, and just because your property may be miles away from the coast, a straight-line storm goes where it wants to go in a hurry. All you have to know is that global warming is real, and its effects are becoming increasingly obvious in the conditions we are experiencing today. Warmer ocean waters are fueling conditions for hurricanes, unprecedented flooding, and wildfires, as well as the alarming rate of melting in the polar ice caps. We are in the hurricane protection business, but as the climate changes, we feel we may be adding straight-lined winds protection to our menu. Not only to coastal communities but to counties anywhere in Florida, from East to West, North to South, anywhere these storms may target. Educating people who remain steadfast in their belief that nothing can happen to them is their right, but it's also our right to provide alternatives that could potentially save their property. Something to think about.

straight-line wind comes from a thunderstorm downdraft. Downdrafts originate overhead in a thunderstorm and descend toward the ground. Once they make contact with the ground, the air is forced to spread out horizontally along the ground as straight-line wind.Thunderstorm downdrafts can cause damage and when those wind gusts reach 58 mph or greater, the thunderstorm is classified as “severe”. In some instances, thunderstorm downdrafts can be organized and strong enough to be classified as a microburst. Those are very intense, short-lived downbursts that can produce winds exceeding 100 mph.and do sugnificant damage
Hurricane insurance and wind insurance are not the same thing, even though both deal with damage from high-speed air. The core difference is the trigger: standard wind coverage applies to everyday windstorms like tornadoes and thunderstorm gusts, while hurricane coverage activates only when the National Hurricane Center officially names a tropical storm or hurricane. That trigger distinction changes your deductible, often dramatically, and determines how much of the repair bill lands on you rather than the insurer.The bottom line is protect your home against any potential wind event with certified storm shutters .You may be glad you did..

SHUTTER OUTLET SMART CHOICES

IN FLORIDA, new construction in designated areas must include approved protection that meets or exceeds the requirements of the Florida Building Code. THE EASIEST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE OPTION FOR THE BUILDER IS STEEL OR ALUMINUM STORM PANELS. THESE PANELS ARE CUT TO FIT EVERY WINDOW AND DOOR AND CAN BE INSTALLED IN A FEW DIFFERENT WAYS, EACH TAKING HOURS TO PUT UP AND TAKE DOWN. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF OPENINGS THAT REQUIRE PROTECTION, LADDERS ARE OFTEN REQUIRED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN CLIMBING WITH A PANEL THAT CAN ACT AS AN AIRPLANE WING IN WINDY CONDITIONS. LET'S FACE IT, AS WE GET UP THERE IN YEARS, THIS PROCESS IS USUALLY TRIED ONCE AND NEVER AGAIN.

AT SHUTTER OUTLET, WE OFFER OUR STORM PANEL TRADE-IN PROGRAM THAT ELIMINATES LADDER CLIMBING AND STORAGE ISSUES, NOT TO MENTION YOUR VALUABLE TIME. THE MOST POPULAR TRADE IS AN UPGRADE TO ACCORDION FOLD SHUTTERS, WHERE YOU CAN SECURE AN ENTIRE HOUSE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, RATHER THAN HOUR UPON HOUR TRYING TO INSTALL PANELS. AND YOU RECEIVE A GENEROUS TRADE VALUE FOR THOSE PANELS TAKING UP SPACE IN YOUR GARAGE.

AN EDUCATED CONSUMER WILL SEE THE VALUE IN THIS PROGRAM AND ACT QUICKLY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME AND BUSINESS. CONTACT US TODAY AND VISIT OUR WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE—DON'T WAIT TO START PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS MOST.
