If you have at least one kid in your house, there is a good chance that you have experienced at least one broken window in the past - if not, there is probably one in your future. Do you know what to do if a window or glass door is broken in your home? How you clean it up, who replaces it and how you handle the entire situation will all have an impact on the outcome. My site contains tips for dealing with a broken window or glass door in your home. Hopefully, you will be able to learn from my many experiences and avoid the mistakes that I have made.
If you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes or strong wind gusts that can send debris flying, you may be looking to protect your home. One of the ways that you protect your home during these storms is to install either storm protection windows or storm protection shutters or panels over your existing windows. Both options help to prevent a window from being broken, sending glass flying everywhere and leaving your home exposed to the elements. However, storm protection windows offer a few extra benefits over shutters and panels. Here are a few of those benefits.
You Do Not Have to Prep For a Storm
One of the biggest benefits that storm protection windows have over shutters and panels is that you do not have to prepare your windows if there is a storm coming. If you have shutters or panels, you have to unroll or move the shutters or panels so that they cover your window. If you have 10-20 windows on your home, this can take time. When the panels or shutters are in place, you are also blocking out natural sunlight, which leaves your home dark inside as soon as you prep your home.
You Do Not Have to Maintain an Extra Shutter or Panel
The second benefit associated with storm protection windows is that they require no more maintenance or care than a regular window. If you have storm shutters or panels in place, you have to maintain your window as well as the storm shutters or panels. This costs money and takes up time.
They Can Increase the Value of Your Home
The final benefit of using storm protection windows instead of storm shutters or panels is that storm protection windows can increase the value of your home. If you are looking to refinance your home, take out a second mortgage or sell your home, the value of the home is important. Adding storm protection windows can increase the value more than shutters or panels.
Storm protection windows are perfect for those who do not want to have to take the time to prep their windows in a storm or who do not want to have to maintain extra shutters or panels. They can also increase the value of your home, which may be ideal if you plan on selling your home in the near future.
