Are hurricane panels a permanent storm shutter?

No. These panels are not permanent. They are what is considered removable hurricane shutters. You install them before a storm and uninstall them after the storm. And while some folks do leave them on for long periods of time this is generally not considered a good idea. This is because they create a fire hazard by blocking egress. In turn, they are typically removed and stored away when not in use.

What are Lexan hurricane panels?

The term “Lexan” is sometimes used interchangeably (whether correctly or not) to describe polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a group of thermoplastic polymers. Lexan is a trade name owned by Sabic, a polymer company. Lexan hurricane panels are corrugated panels made from polycarbonate. This material is clear and lightweight while being extremely strong, impact resistant and stable in high temperatures.

In terms of their benefits as hurricane panels, they offer excellent strength and impact resistance. They are hurricane rated, Florida Product approved, and are able to withstand up to a category 5 hurricane. They are also clear and let natural light in your home when installed. The big benefit of this is that your house will not be “blacked out” and pitch dark during the day. This is beneficial if your power goes out.
