Storm Blockers
When most Tampa Bay homeowners think of hurricane shutters or screens, they imagine them deployed just a few times a year — when a major storm threatens the coast. But the reality is, Storm Blockers’ products offer far more than just hurricane protection. From everyday energy savings to added security, the advantages of installing hurricane shutters and screens in Tampa Bay extend well beyond hurricane season.

Florida summers are no joke — and neither are your energy bills. By reducing the amount of solar heat entering your home, roll-down shutters and storm screens help keep interiors cooler, reducing your reliance on air conditioning.
Reflect direct sunlight away from windows
Reduce interior fading on furniture and flooring
Lower monthly energy costs by maintaining indoor temperatures
Home intrusions often occur through vulnerable windows and sliding doors. Accordion shutters and roll-down systems act as a powerful deterrent to break-ins — a major plus for vacation homes or properties left unattended for extended periods.
