This Hurricane Roll Down Shutter Installation was completed on a new construction home for one of our high end home builder clients. The home is located on Barfield Dr. in Marco Island, FL and the finished product turned out spectacular.

This Photo is of Hurricane Roll Down Shutters on the rear of the home enclosing the lanai. By using roll shutters to enclose the lanai, the home owner’s furniture is protected during a storm. it also alleviates the need to move all the patio furniture during a hurricane to keep it from being damaged or becoming a wind bore projectile.

These two photos are of the front of the home, the first picture is with the shutter in the up position, retaining the beauty of the architecture and entry. The second picture is with the shutter in the down position, giving full protection from not only a hurricane, but also a break in. At the push of a button, this huge shutter i automatically lowered into position, and with another push, it is raised.

Custom Entry Door Discussion: Why Fiberglass Entry Doors In South West Florida?

1st Choice Windows and Shutters LLC. is committed to providing our customers with the most accurate education available on the products we offer to help you make the best choice for you and your property.

In this article, We explain the benefits of purchasing a door constructed of fiberglass in the South West Florida area. Lets start off with a few points about fiberglass doors:

• Realistic wood grains are available and are authentic replications
• CFC-Free polyurethane closed cell foam core to save energy
• Resistance to extreme temperature fluctuations, perfect for Florida’s climate
• Doors and side lite frames will not rot, warp, split or crack
• Easily painted or stained to match your existing details or create new ones
• Energy Star® qualified for a variety of door configurations

Fiberglass doors provide the beauty and warmth of real wood with the durability and sustainability of fiberglass. In our South West Florida climate, we experience high levels of humidity that can ruin real wood. Our competitors are using wood frames on their fiberglass doors, allowing the frames to rot before the door reaches it’s life expectancy. We use a wood free composite material that will never rot, crack or peel.

Below is a video showing how the impact test is performed and how a wood door stands up to the testing procedure.

These fiberglass doors offer strength and beauty all in the same package, where function does not have to ruin form. When selected, we install stainless steel hinges to provide years of use in the harsh salty conditions.

In the video below, you see our fiberglass door being water tested to provide years of protection from Florida’s torrential rain storms.

We also offer custom finishing to match your home, or to extenuate your new door. Let our experienced staff help you select the door that’s right for you!
