Taylor Morrison Home Care Highlights – Installing Storm Shutters
Like taxes, you can count on storm season to come around every year. If you live in an area affected by major storms, you know that when a hurricane or tropical storm is headed your way, you’d better be prepared. Storm shutters are needed to protect from broken glass and other debris getting into a home. Metal storm shutters are an effective and popular solution. This video segment from the Taylor Morrison Home Care Highlights series explains how to store and use metal storm shutters.
Shutters are designed for quick and easy installation. Once you have the appropriately sized shutters on hand, you’ll also need to have mechanics gloves, a fully charged cordless drill, a utility knife and a step ladder on hand. Metal storm shutters can be put over both windows and doors. Use the utility knife to carefully remove any paint, plaster or caulking on your windows’ and doors’ surrounding track hardware. Your shutters will come with a zone map, with shutters labeled, starting with Zone 1. Install Zone 1 first you, always moving left to right. Secure the first shutter in place with hardware that came with the shutters, leaving the top and bottom mounting bolts open. You’ll bolt these down, too, when you overlap, align and install next shutter segment. Repeat these steps with each window and door. When you can take them down, store your shutters in Zone order in your garage. For more detail and visual guidance, watch the video and you’ll be set.
