  Hurricane shutters help protect your home and family from nasty weather, such as hurricanes and tropical storms. And they are very effective at doing just that. But in order for them to work properly they need to be maintained.  Some maintenance tasks, such as motor maintenance or lubrication can be done by companies like Eurex Shutters in Southwest Florida. But others you can do yourself (DIY) at home.  One key component of hurricane shutter maintenance is cleaning your storm shutters. Cleaning helps keep your shutters looking great. But it also helps reduce build of dirt and grime and even insect nests. These things may hinder your shutters’ performance.  In most cases you can clean your shutters with a mild soap and water solution. The cleaning process for some, such as clamshell or accordion shutters, is pretty easy. For others, such as Bahama shutters and roll down shutters you will really want to clean in between the slats and ridges to get a deep clean.

Storm shutters can also be called hurricane shutters or impact shutters. Storm shutters are made from materials that are impact resistant.   They are frequently used in areas like Fort Myers, Naples, Miami and other areas consistently prone to severe weather. They are used to prevent damage to a home’s windows, doors and other vulnerable areas during a storm. Such storms include hurricanes, tropical storms, and other severe storms.  You can choose from a wide range of storm shutter styles, such as accordion, bahama, roll down, colonial, clamshell and more.  When you are ready to install your shutters make sure you select a supplier and installer that are high-quality and have a good reputation, such as Eurex Shutters in FL (if you are in the Fort Myers Florida area). You also want to make sure that the shutters are rated for a category 5 hurricane and meet all necessary building codes for your area, such as the Florida Building Codes.
