Hurricane season may be winding down, but it is never too late to begin preparing for the next Hurricane season. (It will be here before you know it.)
One of the ways you can prepare for the high winds and fury of a hurricane is by purchasing storm panels for the doors and windows of your home.
Of course, you can always use plywood or metal for window protection during a hurricane, but there are alternatives to those methods. One popular alternative is the use of fabric storm panels.
Fabric storm panels – also called called "wind abatement screens" may not sound tough, but in fact those rated for use as a means of window protection against a hurricane are equal to plywood and similar window coverings.
Taking the proper hurricane precautions can help keep you and your family safe. Take the lull of winter as a good opportunity to get a jump start on your hurricane safety plans this year.
