Along the Texas Gulf Coast, hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, but strong winds and driving rain don’t follow a calendar. Spring and fall storms — including events like the recent derecho or Hurricane Beryl — have caused significant water intrusion for many homeowners. Time and again, customers come to us after the damage is done, wishing they had taken steps to protect their homes sooner.
Why Hurricane Shutters Are Essential Year‑Round Protection for Your Home
At Houston Hurricane & Security Products, we believe protection shouldn’t be seasonal. Our motorized roll‑down shutters provide instant, reliable defense with the push of a button — any day, any month, any storm.
The Hidden Weakness in Impact Windows: Water Intrusion
Most homeowners assume that impact‑rated windows offer complete protection. The truth is more complicated.
Impact windows are tested to withstand wind pressures — but water testing is only required at 15% of the overall design pressure (DP).
Let’s break that down:
- A DP 50 window is engineered to withstand roughly 140 mph winds
- But 15% of DP 50 = DP 7.5, which equates to only 54 mph
This means water can penetrate the window unit long before hurricane‑force winds arrive. Many of our customers learned this the hard way after recent storms, experiencing water intrusion despite having impact‑rated windows.
Roll‑Down Shutters: A Proven Barrier Against Wind‑Driven Rain
Our motorized roll‑down shutters create a physical shield between your window and the elements. They block wind‑driven rain before it ever reaches the window frame — eliminating the most common cause of storm‑related water damage.
We’re proud to say we have 100% customer satisfaction when it comes to preventing water intrusion with our roll‑down shutter systems. When properly deployed, they simply work.
