Steel Panel Shutters

Steel panels are the preferred method of protection chosen by the tract builders. Steel panels come in 2 thicknesses, 20 ga (for Miami-Dade County) and 24 ga (for everywhere else). While both offer protection from Hurricanes and flying debris, the reason that they are so commonly chosen by builders is the price. This is the cheapest way to truly protect your home. If you have plywood (or worse yet nothing), and are looking to get hurricane protection at the lowest possible price point then steel panels may be for you.
