Review on πŸŒ€ Protective Screw Thread Caps for Hurricane Shutters - WIDGETCO 1/4" x 1", White by Joe Jordan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NOT recommended for outdoor use - they TURN WHITE in just 12 DAYS!

I need 20pcs 1" long front door fixed hurricane protection hardware. They are surprisingly hard to find online in the 25pcs quantity. So at first I was glad I found them When I found Revain at a relatively low price I was relieved when they arrived and correctly measured 1" as several reviewers complained that 3/4" was sent instead.It's only been 12 days since I've had them on the hurricane bolts and I can't believe they have ALREADY completely turned from white to a distinctly darker yellowish almond color, presumably simply due to exposure to INDIRECT sunlight and/or Florida heat! I can't imagine how they will look like in a year if i leave them in place which i'm not good at and now i need to find something that is UV sc hatz is suitable. I had 5 extras that I didn't need so I duplicated ch checked by comparing their colors to make sure I wasn't going crazy and was actually getting almonds without noticing. However, a direct comparison confirmed a significant color change. So obviously they are made of extremely light sensitive vinyl and are totally unsuitable for outdoor use if you care about how they look for your application.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Quality
