Hurricane Panel Mounting Hardware
      Fri Jul 08 2005 07:19 AM

and the good moderators moved it to the "anything and nothing" board and I never did get an answer.

Given that we are now in the midst of the hurricane season 2005, I think it is an appropriate question.

I sure would appreciate any help or suggestions......



Day before Christmas I made the plunge and ordered .050 corrugated aluminum hurricane panels to cover each window in my house.

(Luckily I bought them back then - they are now up to as much as $8.00/sq ft. I paid $2.60/sq. ft)

Now my concern/questions is mounting hardware.

Due to extruding concrete sills at the bottom of the window openings (concrete block construction), I will be mounitng the panels horizontally and directly to the concrete block.

Does anyone have any idea if female panelmate anchors will be ok? I have no idea if the block cells around my windows are filled or not. House is three years old (Lake County). The panelmate may end up imbedded in concrete about 3/4 inch before punching into a possibly open cell.

I do not want the male panelmates do to possibility of injury from the threads protruding from the block - besides it looks ugly.

If I do puch into an open cell would adding epoxy into the hole suffice?

I have also heard about using "caulk-ins". Any idea if these are adequate?

Anyone have any leads on places that sell the panelmates and sidewalk bolts at a decent discount?

Thanks in advance
