{ “@context”: “https://schema.org”, “@type”: “FAQPage”, “mainEntity”: [ { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How Much Do Shutters Cost?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Each style of hurricane shutter costs a different amount per square foot. We suggest looking at our ‘Cost Calculator’ for a rough estimate. Generally, the final price is lower unless special equipment like a lift is required.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What Are Shutters Made Of?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Except for Flat Polycarbonate, our shutters are made of 6063-T6 extruded aluminum. Hurricane Screens are reinforced with Aramid fiber, while polycarbonate panels use the same high-impact material as Lexan.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Should We Install Shutters on All Openings?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes. Keeping the envelope of your home intact is critical. If one opening is compromised, internal pressure can cause blowout and roof loss.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Will Getting Shutters Lower My Insurance?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes. Many providers require shutters for commercial policies, and most offer premium discounts for wind mitigation measures.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Isn’t Plywood Good Enough?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Plywood is a last resort. It is heavy, hard to store, and weakens when soaked. It lacks the rated pressure resistance of metal shutters and can fail under wind loads.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What is HVHZ and Miami-Dade?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “HVHZ stands for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade/Broward). While we install to non-HVHZ requirements in the Carolinas, our products are engineered for extreme wind speeds and high-impact standards.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How Are Shutters Attached?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “We use code-compliant 0.25\”, 0.3125\”, or 0.375\” diameter coated carbon steel or 304 stainless steel screws, following specific product approval spacing.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How Long Do Shutters Last?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “With routine maintenance, shutters can easily last 15+ years. Regular cleaning and use are key to longevity in coastal environments.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What About Window Film?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Window film does not pass Miami-Dade certification because it doesn’t strengthen the frame. While it holds shattered glass together, it does not prevent the window from failing under wind pressure.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What is design pressure and why should I care?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Design pressure is the maximum pressure an object can withstand. We use the ASCE model to ensure your shutters meet the wind speed requirements of your specific location.” } } ] }
