Unfortunately there are companies on the market that are misleading the consumer on storm protection products. They are trying to compare their product to Gallina because of the similarity in appearance. By buying and installing low price non-approved products customers may not be covered by their insurance companies; they jeopardize the safety of their homes and families.
