  • Are hurricane impact windows as good as shutters?

Dependable hurricane shutters companies like Zager Windows, Doors, and Shutters will be able to help you determine the best option for your home!

  • How effective are hurricane screens?

    In the event of a hurricane, it is important to secure your property with hurricane screens to prevent damage from flying water and debris. According to Forbes, hurricane-proof windows are designed to help protect your windows during storms with winds up to 200 miles per hour. They also deflect debris and protect against leaks due to heavy rain. Make sure to contact your local hurricane shutters companies before a big storm to keep your home protected!

    By tightly securing openings, screens prevent dangerous hurricane-force winds from entering your home and putting the entire structure at risk. If you want to stay prepared, reach out to hurricane shutters companies like Zager Windows, Doors, and Shutters!

  • What is the best protection for windows during a hurricane?

    Adding storm shutters is a great way to protect your home's interior from storm-related projectiles. They serve as a physical barrier that adds extra security to your windows. Hurricane shutters companies offer various styles, including panel and Bahama shutters, accordion-style protection, or rolling storm shutters.
