ABOUT CORRUGATED PANEL SHUTTERS:
Hurricane panels come in steel, clear plastic or aluminum and attach to the walls around windows and doors on bolts or tracks. Storm panels are corrugated, and each piece overlaps the next for maximum strength. Our steel panels have our safety edge system that eliminates sharp edges along the length of the panels.
CORRUGATED PANEL SHUTTERS MOUNTING STYLES:
Tracks & Bolts:
- The top of the panel is slipped into a track above the window, and the bottom of the panel is secured to bolts that are permanently attached beneath the window.
F-shaped Tracks
- Tracks are mounted above and below the windows and doors.
- Bolts slide into the tracks from either side and must be manually aligned with the holes on the panels.
Using Screws & Anchors
- Screws & anchors are permanently set into the wall beside the windows and doors
- They can be loosened as the panel is hung horizontally or vertically, and screwed down to secure it.
Using studcons with wing nuts
- Studcons & wingnuts are permanently set into the wall beside the windows and doors.
- The panels can be rested on the studcons until the wing nuts are tightened.
A combination of the different mounting mechanisms can be used on a single home.
