Gone are the days when we had to sit through a storm in the dark because we had boarded up our windows with plywood.
Bermuda Brickyard Limited’s special screens and aluminum rollup systems mean we’re protected without blocking out natural light.
Peter Schindel, founder of the family-run company which has been helping shield homes and commercial properties for almost 20 years, said: “We carry two of the best product lines for Bermuda’s homes and businesses during hurricane season.
“In the old days, people covered their windows and doors with plywood or solid aluminum shutters which literally left families in the dark.
“There are few things more terrifying than being stuck inside during a bad storm without fresh air or electricity. Bermuda Brickyard offers more effective and secure alternatives which allow you to see outside while the storm is going on.”
Armor Screen Hurricane Protection is a revolutionary see-through and breathable hurricane screen product, allowing you – if you so wish – to sit on your Armor Screen Protected porch with your windows and doors open and safely watch the storm.
That’s because these screen protectors are made of strong mesh material, like a trampoline. Flying debris and branches bounce off the mesh, while ensuring less pressure build-up in the house. The idea is that there’s a reduced chance of the roof lifting off or windows popping out.
Armor Screen is available in a range of colours and systems including the Buckle and Strap System and Electric Rollups.
Other customers opt for Brickyard’s Croci Aluminum Rollup System, which are an effective and stylish way to provide security, privacy and protection against storm damage in particularly vulnerable areas. Croci Rollups keep your space cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and offer year-round protection against storms, intruders, wind, debris and damaging UV rays.
Like all of Bermuda Brickyard’s hurricane systems, Croci Rollups are custom built to fit each door, window and garage door space. They can be ordered with Lexan panels for greater light and visibility or with solid aluminium slats.
“They’re great because they provide light and you can see through them to know what’s happening outside,” Mr Schindel said.
To protect your home or commercial property, call Bermuda Brickyard to arrange a visit by an expert to measure, make an assessment and provide a quote. You can choose your type of protection, and the colours.
You should contact Bermuda Brickyard four to five months in advance of installation, so the engineers and manufacturers can custom-make each product to the highest quality standards. The hurricane protection systems are then installed by Brickyard’s expert technicians.
“Our installers take the time to teach each client how to deploy their protection systems,” Mr Schindel said.
“It can be as easy as pressing a button for some of our systems, while others have to be clipped-on or tightened.
“There isn’t another provider on the island that meets Bermuda Brickyard’s standard of excellence. Our products are expertly made and installed, they’re easy to use, they last, and they give people peace of mind.”
