Hurricanes are destructive and unpredictable, but with Jim Olivier’s home improvements, you
can make sure your home is as secure as possible during extreme weather. This 5-minute read
shares the benefits of hurricane shutters and impact windows. Give our experts a call if you are
interested in finding out which is best for your home.
Hurricane Shutters, Greater Security:
Hurricane shutters are the first line of defense against flying debris during a storm. Afterwards,
they offer peace of mind, keeping intruders away. Homes with broken windows are easy targets,
and desperate thieves may smash and grab at vulnerable homes. Hurricane shutters are
difficult to remove or cut, making them an effective deterrent. If you decide to ride out the storm,
besides protection against storm debris, hurricane shutters also offer sound insulation.
Instead of wasting precious time and money boarding up your windows, simply seal your
shutters before a storm. Whether you stay or evacuate, enjoy greater security against the
elements and unwanted intruders.
Impact Windows, Greater Resistance:
Besides being more energy efficient, Jim Olivier’s Impact Windows are the first line of defense.
Their reinforced frames and impact-resistant glass prevents the glass from breaking through
leaving a gaping hole. The outer glass may crack, but the inner layer keeps the elements, and
intruders, out of your home.
Better Insulation:
Impact windows also provide better insulation than standard framed windows, not to mention
Low E and UV protection. This combination makes your home more energy efficient, as you’ll
be able to keep the cold air out in winter and the hot air out in summer. Less heat entering your
home means lower energy bills over time!
Either Offer Reliable Storm Protection:
When a hurricane threatens your home or business, hurricane shutters and impact windows can
give you the added protection you need. But you don’t need both. Call Jim Olivier’s Home

time to sell. Depending on your policy, you may also qualify for a discount on your homeowner’s insurance rate. Check with your insurance agent for more details.
