WEST PALM BEACH HURRICANE PROTECTION
Gold Coast Shutters and Fence - Palm Beach Storm Protection Specialists
Founded In 1894, West Palm is the oldest city in Palm Beach County. On Nov. 5, 1894, 87 of the town's 500 or so residents, gathered "atop the calaboose" (the jailhouse) at Poinsettia (now Dixie) and Banyan streets and voted 77-1 to incorporate "West Palm Beach". The area had originally been called Westpalmbeach, a single word, then split into three words. West Palm Beach has become a city of unsurpassed beauty, from the sub-tropical waterfront location, vibrant downtown for shopping, exciting dining experiences, world-class arts and entertainment venues, to the inviting historic neighborhoods. However, the tropical climate leaves West Palm residents vulnerable to property damage that come as a result of hurricanes and tropical storms. In fact, some West Palm residents are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Wilma . Wilma, a CAT 3 storm, came ashore 18 miles south of Naples in October of 2005. Winds gusted to over 100 mph several in locations in South Florida, including West Palm Beach. Hurricane season annually begins on June 1 and it's never too late to properly defend your West Palm Beach home or business against hurricane force winds.

Florida Building Code Approved 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.
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.
