Hurricanes in West Palm Beach FL are common. Residents have to “batten down the hatches” at least once a year to make sure their homes are not completely destroyed by these powerful storms. The use of hurricane shutters, a.k.a., storm panels, are the norm here. They may be wooden shutters or metal panels secured to the house over the windows of the house. Most people use nails, but these often result in a lot of damage to the frames of windows. There are alternatives to nails for securing storm panels.
Storm Panel Wingnuts on West Palm Beach Homes
Imagine if your storm panels didn’t need to be nailed down every time a storm is rolling in. Instead, you could install small screws over which the panels fit, and then secure the panels over the screws with the use of wingnuts.
Storm panel wingnuts on West Palm Beach homes make the whole process of preparing for a hurricane a lot faster, easier, and less damaging to the window frames. Better still, when the hurricane passes, the wingnuts unscrew and the panels come off with ease. Store the nuts and the panels until the next hurricane is headed your way.
Wingnuts Can Be Used With Wood Panels Too
If your wood panels are very solid and unyielding, then you can install a similar screw and wingnut system. The difference here is that you would have to predrill holes in your wood panels to fit over the screws. The wingnuts would work the same way.
