Protecting a home from seasonal weather and severe storms like hurricanes demands careful attention to windows and other “weak points.” While plywood can help get the job done, this unsightly solution often calls for repeat purchases and doesn’t necessarily offer the protection homeowners are after. When our storm panels are relied upon instead, you’ll enjoy a more aesthetically pleasing solution that can protect on a number of fronts without breaking your bank.

Our hurricane panels enable you to provide your home with the most cost-effective means of hurricane protection. Comparable to plywood in price, hurricane panels can be installed in just about any opening and have been tested to withstand the most severe weather conditions. Alutech United offers two types of panels: aluminum or clear.

Alutech carries a large line of security shutters and panels designed to protect properties from a number of potential emergencies. From hurricane shutters to security grill designs and beyond, it is our business to help you ensure your property stays safe.

Some of the products in our storm panels line include:

Clear Strength Hurricane Panels

If you want to enjoy the protection of storm panels without an obstructed view, these panels fit the bill. They are the “first truly clear hurricane panel” design. Created from 100 percent Proprietary Polycarbonate Resins, they are 40 percent stronger than most other clear panels in Allowable Design Pressure. The Clear Strength Panels have outstanding clarity, allowing a home or business owner to have maximum protection without the need to blackout the living or working space.

Clear Strength Panels are 30 percent lighter than most other panels and are 50 percent lighter than aluminum panels. They offer the protection of hurricane panels without some of the inconveniences.

Unlike the aluminum panel design for security shutters, our clear version is available in 16", 24", 32" and 48" widths and 12' lengths. The variety of widths enables home and business owners to save money and limits the number of panels needed to cover and protect your openings.
The features that make these storm panels stand out include:

• Their exceptionally clear design
• The inclusion of a special 5” wide viewing section on each panel
• The variety of sizes available
• The ability to install vertically or horizontally
• The lightweight nature of the design
• Their approval with Florida and Texas building codes
• The 12-year warranty
• The fact that they offer less overlap than other storm panels
• Their installation compatibility with “F” tracks
• The numerous fasteners they are approved to work with

When storms threaten, windows and doors must be protected. Our hurricane panels will get the job done right the first time. 
 

Also, available is the ePanel System a tinted version of the Clear Strength Panel.

Aluminum Hurricane Panels 

Our aluminum panels are meant for reuse as often as they are needed. They can be stored away when a storm passes and require only minimal storage space. The only permanent fixtures to your home are the header and bottom track, which can easily blend in with a home’s trim work.

These hurricane panels are constructed from Roll Formed aluminum that is .05” thick and then are mill painted with an all-weather coating for long life and corrosion resistance. These storm panels deliver a number of benefits. They include:

• Increased protection and greater practicality than plywood
• Overlapping panels to fit any opening with interlocking to reinforce vertical strength
• Minimal obstruction when not in use
• Our storm panels are constructed with aluminum with stainless steel fasteners for a corrosion free installation
• These are designed to meet all of Florida’s strict building codes
• They are also perfect for winterizing rental properties
