Re: Building Storm Attractive-Effective Shutters

Quote:

polycarbonate sheets (lexan) are high impact resistant. ~250 times stronger than safety glass. very pricey....
4x 8 x 1/4 = $163.50 4 x 8 x .375= $283.64 4 x 8 x .500 = $401.94 per sheet.



Not sure what happened to my follow-up so here it is again.

What about Kevlar or some other less costly plastic?

What about hinge choices? I have some heavy brass ones but what about stainless piano hinges?

Any ideas as to latches?

Thanks! doc
