Clear Storm Panels, Episode 6 (of 7)

While using plywood to board up windows is still the most popular way to go, there is a new kid in town. Polycarbonate, often called "Clear Storm Panels" can be a better choice for many reasons. Polycarbonate is stronger than plywood and therefor can offer more protection from flying debris. Polycarbonate is a semi-clear material that lets natural light in, as opposed to plywood which just blocks all light from coming in through your windows. Installation is easy, as shown here in this video by Lowes Home Improvement.
