Top Ten Reasons to Use Storm Stoppers
TOP 10 REASONS TO PURCHASE STORM STOPPERS™:
1.Storm Stoppers have successfully passed the Large Missile Impact Test. Storm Stoppers™ have been successfully tested to repel, with no penetrations, a 4.5 lb 4 foot 2 X 4’ shot at 40 feet per second (impact is to ASTM E 1996-03 standards for Wind Zones 1 & 2—up to 130 mph wind gusts.)
2.Storm Stoppers™ can be easily cut & installed by 1 person. You can cut Storm Stoppers™ with a box cutter.
3.Storm Stoppers™ are reusable year after year. There is UV protection in both the corrugated plastic and the 3M Dual Lock™ fasteners. The plastic lasts for years and you will get approximately 1,000 closures out of the fasteners. (attachment + separation=2 closures)
4.Storm Stoppers™ are in stock for immediate delivery. Many newspapers have run stories encouraging readers to “get in line” for delivery next year of hurricane shutters. At a minimum there are 3-4 month delays. In contrast, Storm Stoppers™ are in stock and ready for immediate delivery.
5.Storm Stoppers patented fastening system eliminates holes in your home’s exterior. Our lab tested 3M Dual Lock™ fastening system eliminates unsightly holes in your home’s exterior. We have both clear and black Dual Lock™ fasteners available to blend in with either white or bronze/black window frames.
6.Storm Stoppers™ are translucent and let in lots of light.
7.Storm Stoppers™ can be easily removed from the inside in the event of an emergency. Open the window, push out and you can exit any window or door protected by Storm Stoppers™. In contrast, Florida Building Code-approved shutters only have to have 1 exit in the entire home. Imagine trying to find that solitary exit in a dark, smokey house
8.Storm Stoppers™ are lightweight and very easy to lift and install. Our largest 65 X 108” Storm Stoppers™ plastic panel weighs under 20 lbs. A Storm Stopper™ plastic panel can be easily lifted and attached by a woman or the elderly.
9.Storm Stoppers™ are 80% cheaper than most other hurricane shutters & can be cut and installed by a homeowner without any power tools. Storm Stoppers™ average $3.25 per square foot. Most other hurricane shutters start at $8 per square foot or more. Unlike most other (corrugated, roll-down, accordion, etc) shutters, you do not need a permit to install Storm Stoppers™.
10.Finally, we have a special program we use that calculates the best mix of sizes for your needs. Give us your window frame dimensions and, with your order, we can give you a cutting diagram showing you the window yield per panel.
