Prep for Hurricane Season With Eastern Metal Supply

​Protect customers' homes from the devastating effects of hurricanes with the full range of hurricane protection products from Eastern Metal Supply. EMS offers a full line of components from traditional metal shutters to automated systems that can be controlled remotely, with code approvals to put your customers' minds at ease.

One of EMS's most popular protection options is the Bertha roll-formed storm panel system. This seamless panel features extrusions for added strength and carries a variety of approvals, including Florida Building Code, Texas Department of Insurance Standards and International Building Code. Choose from aluminum, galvanized steel and clear or translucent plastic to best match your customer's unique application. Metallic Bertha panels meet or exceed code requirements in nearly every location, providing excellent protection at a reasonable cost. 

All Bertha panels are available cut to length, saving time on the job site. Order 2- or 2.25-inch panels in the appropriate length and hit the ground running when it arrives. Installation is fast, with a variety of code-approved tracks and headers that match any window layout. Choose from H-, U-, and build-out headers in a variety of sizes, as well as studded and studless tracks. No matter the situation, EMS can deliver reliable hurricane protection to customers quickly and easily. 

Other hurricane protection products include the high-strength nylon hybrid fabric solution offered by Bertha Astroguard, which installs quickly with clips when needed. For more permanent systems, choose Bertha HV Accordion or Bertha Roll shutters. Each fits easily over existing windows or doors and provides near-instant protection when required. With the addition of a motor, customers can have the protection of the Bertha Roll system at the push of a button. With one of EMS' Smart Hubs, customers can deploy their hurricane protection from anywhere they have a cell signal.
