Living in Florida comes with incredible perks—sunny beaches, tropical landscapes, and warm weather most of the year. But it also comes with the reality of hurricane season, tropical storms, and unpredictable weather events. Protecting your home, family, and property is essential for every Florida homeowner. One of the best ways to do this is by investing in high-quality storm protection products.
At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we specialize in helping homeowners across Brevard and Indian River Counties equip their homes with reliable, code-compliant storm protection systems. From hurricane shutters to impact screens, we install products designed to withstand Florida’s strongest storms while adding value and peace of mind to your home.
In this guide, we’ll explore the top storm protection products for Florida homes, what makes each one effective, and how to choose the best solution for your property.
Florida is one of the most hurricane-prone states in the United States. Storms can bring high winds, flying debris, and heavy rain that cause severe damage to homes, outdoor structures, and personal property. Installing storm protection products offers several benefits:
Proper storm protection isn’t just a precaution—it’s a long-term investment in safety, property value, and lifestyle security.
Here are the most popular and effective storm protection products used by Florida homeowners. Each product serves a specific purpose, and in many cases, combining multiple solutions offers the best protection.
Accordion shutters are among the most widely used hurricane protection systems in Florida. They are permanently installed along window and door frames and fold open or closed with ease.
Benefits of Accordion Shutters:
Accordion shutters are ideal for homeowners looking for a cost-effective and reliable solution that doesn’t sacrifice functionality. They’re especially popular for standard windows and sliding glass doors.
Bahama shutters combine style with function. These top-hinged, tropical-inspired shutters not only protect your windows from storm damage but also provide shade and ventilation during sunny days.
Why Bahama Shutters Work:
Bahama shutters are ideal for homeowners who want both protection and style, particularly on second-story windows or areas exposed to high winds.
Colonial shutters are classic, side-hinged shutters that combine timeless design with storm protection.
Features of Colonial Shutters:
Colonial shutters are a perfect choice for homes with a traditional aesthetic. They provide full coverage for windowsand can be installed on both ground and upper floors.
For homeowners seeking convenience and advanced protection, motorized roll-down shutters are an excellent solution. These shutters operate at the push of a button and can cover large areas, including patios, lanais, and garage openings.
Advantages of Motorized Roll-Down Shutters:
Motorized shutters are ideal for high-traffic areas of the home where quick deployment is necessary and manual operation would be cumbersome.
Impact screens are a modern solution for protecting patios, lanais, and pool areas without compromising visibility or airflow. These retractable screens are motorized and designed to block wind, rain, and debris.
Why Choose Impact Screens:
Impact screens are ideal for Florida homeowners with extensive outdoor living areas who want storm protection without sacrificing the beauty of their patios or lanais.
