Gold Coast Shutters and Fence
Juno Beach, Florida has quite a history with hurricanes. Because it is near the tropics and westerly winds blow off the African coasts along the equator, Florida is vulnerable. What does the word hurricane mean? The word hurricane probably comes to us by way of the Spanish explorers. They picked up the term from the Taino Indian* word huracan (evil spirit). The word probably came to the Taino from the Maya word Huraken (God of Storms or bad weather). What are hurricanes? Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters—usually starting as storms in the Caribbean or off the west coast of Africa. As the storms drift slowly westward, they gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power. Warm, moist air moves toward the center of the storm and spirals upward. This is similar to the “dust devils” that form on a hot afternoon along a sandy beach. Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around an “eye.” The most violent part of a hurricane is at the edges of its eye, called the eye wall.
Hail, wind and storm losses are perils that may affect our residents in Juno Beach. The physical damage from these events may be as minor as a broken window or may be as dramatic as a damaged roof or a fallen tree that causes structural damage. Protect yourself and your family from the devastating effects that hurricanes can cause to your home with products from Goldcoast Shutters and Fence. Need an in home evaluation?

JUNO BEACH HURRICANE shutters
Hurricane coverings, commonly known as shutters, are used in hurricane mitigation to protect houses and other structures from damage caused by storms. Hurricane shutters are used to prevent windows from being broken by flying objects during a storm. Although the negative pressure caused by high velocity wind flowing over a building roof can cause the roof to fail with the building envelope intact. Broken windows allow the air pressure to rise inside a building, creating an even greater pressure difference, and increasing the likelihood of roof failure.
JUNO BEACH Accordion Shutters
Accordion hurricane shutters are made from interlocking vertical blades which slide into place horizontally on a track. They are operated by pulling each curtain toward the center of the track, latching the curtains together and locking the handle.
