I haven't tried it yet, but I was told by the seller to tape the top and underneath then cut through the layers. The tape prevents chipping and splitting.
So will you leave them up full-time? Or just if there is a hurricane coming? I like that they still let light in. Trying to figure out what we want to do for our house.
Poly carbonate panels are for hurricanes but I did install the bronze tinted panels at my other house and yes lowered my electric bill by 30%. I wanted clear ones on my little place here in the video.
Yes I had an older mobile home with crank out poorly insulated thin windows . I ordered the minimum thickness for hurricane resistance in with a smoke tint. I used a skill saw with a fine tooth blade and used the anchor system to mount the panels. Worked great and lowered my electric bill by 20% I think I have pictures somewhere. The panels were shipped out of Tampa somewhere. The nice thing they didn’t really look like storm panels.
Excellent video. Very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for the info!

I leave everything except the slider panels. I take them off twice a year to clean but you could probably do it once a year. Sorry for the late reply.
Where did you buy your full panels. Nice video. Informative.
How come I've never seen ths product!? Crystal clear Gen X nostalgia panels.
All the effort none of the shade

Would spraying it with water prevent them from melting?
@@davidb9166 Long as the water didn’t damage your equipment. A friend said he had good luck with a reciprocating saw.
where can you buy the full panels?
Lowes carries them and everything else you’ll need. I bought these used but like new off Craig’s list.
Way betta then turning your house into a cave with the metal ones
Has anyone here used polycarbonate sheeting -(the honeycomb kind rated for hurricane)and hurricane clips? Thank you for sharing. Stay safe everyone.
