Boarding Windows with Polycarbonate Hurricane Panels - Hurricane Preparedness

Boarding windows is quick and easy if you follow these step by step instructions from Lowe's. Learn how to board your windows with Clearview® polycarbonate storm panels.

Measure each window opening and add 8 inches to the height and width. If your window has a sill, only add 4 inches to the height. The hurricane panel will be attached to the sill with a mounting bracket.

Mark and cut the panels. Mark holes 6 inches from each corner, at least 1 inch from the ends. Then space the holes at most 12 inches apart. Make sure the holes line up with a solid surface on your house, like a stud.

Drill the holes in the panel and make sure the UV side of the panel is facing out. Center the polycarbonate panel over the window and mark the hole positions on your house. Drill the holes and drive the anchors. If you have a sill, install a bracket.

Remove the film from the inside of the panel and install the hurricane panel. Install the washers over the anchor and secure with a wingnut. Remove the film from the outside of the polycarbonate panel. Mark the panel for future use.
