While in a foreign country, you are subject to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in your home country and may not afford the protections available to the individual under your home jurisdiction. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe for similar offenses. Persons violating Panamanian laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Panama are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines. If you are not a money launderer, drug seller or terrorist you will find Panama to have a relatively laid back attitude towards crime compared to North America, Australia and the EU.
Wooden framed doors, windows and conservatories are nice to look at, but they often do not stand the test of time. Rain can rot the frames and the sun can fade their appearance and crack the wood. At best this makes them look unattractive, at worst it turns them into a security risk. With advanced locking systems as standard and impact resistance built in, uPVC french doors are extremely rigid and secure. Other advantages of uPVC is that it is very low maintenance. Wood needs treatments, varnishing and sometimes even sanding and painting too. This is not so with uPVC which needs nothing more than the occasional wipe with a damp cloth. UPVC lasts for decades, not years and will need no additional work during that time. Because it is a material available in a range of colours and wood effect finishes, even those who want to keep a traditional feel and design to their home can do so. To the casual observer uPVC looks no different from a wooden counterpart.IMPACT WINDOWS AND DOORS ($40 - $55+ / sq. ft.):PLYWOOD SHUTTERS ($2 - $4 / sq. ft.):Since they can be locked, they make an excellent theft deterrentRequire storage, but can be stackedCan be installed by a handy DIY.
