Exterior Hurricane Shutters

Storm protection engineered for the Gulf — in styles that hold their curb appeal all year.

Hurricane-rated protection that still looks like it belongs.

Hurricane shutters are the one home improvement on the coast that pays for itself twice: once in peace of mind, and again in what your insurer thinks of your property. We install the full range, from permanently mounted Bahama and Colonial shutters to accordion and rolling systems that stow flat, plus removable storm panels for budget-conscious coverage.

Every system we sell is engineered to meet strict Florida and Alabama coastal building codes. We measure, permit where required, and install so the shutters close correctly the first time — not the night before landfall.

  • Code-compliant

    Systems engineered and tested to coastal building code requirements.

  • Deploy in minutes

    Accordion and rolling systems close fast — by hand or by remote.

  • Corrosion resistant

    Aluminum construction and lubricated components built for salt air.

  • Insurance friendly

    Approved storm protection may qualify you for premium credits.

Bahama Shutters

Bring a breeze of island style and serious storm protection to your home with our StormSecure Impact Bahama Shutters. These shutters marry that laid-back, low-profile charm of traditional wood with the tough-as-nails durability of aluminum. Whether you're protecting a cozy cottage or a coastal storefront, you'll find a wide range of colors to suit your style. Built to take on hurricane-force winds from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific Rim, these shutters don't just look pretty — they're proven tough where it counts.

Colonial Shutters

Add a dash of Southern elegance and a whole lot of storm strength with our StormSecure Colonial Shutters. Inspired by historic homes from Charleston to the French Quarter, these aluminum beauties offer the timeless look of wood with rugged, all-weather performance. Their smart design lets air flow even when they're shut tight, and you can close them from the inside or out — whatever suits your porch swing pace. When a storm's blowin' in, these shutters snap to attention fast, offering curb appeal with peace of mind.

Accordion Shutters

When it's time to hunker down, nothing beats the strength and simplicity of our Eyewall Armor 6.8 Accordion Shutters. Built to perform when the weather's at its worst, these shutters resist corrosion and glide smooth thanks to easy-to-lubricate components. The two-step locking system sets them apart, while the tight stacking keeps your home lookin' sharp between storms. Southern weather can be unpredictable — these shutters aren't.

Rolling Shutters

If you're lookin' for protection that rolls with the punches, our Fortified Rolling Shutters are your answer. Easy to operate by hand or remote, these shutters tuck away neatly and come in a range of colors to match your Southern style. Engineered to meet strict building codes, they'll stand firm when Mother Nature's in a mood — whether you're battening down the beach house or your hometown business.

Polycarbonate Storm Panels

Clear as a Gulf sunrise and strong enough to stand up to hurricane winds, our optical-grade polycarbonate storm panels offer the best of both worlds — visibility and security. These lightweight panels won't yellow or warp, and they're easy to install when the forecast turns fierce. With UV protection on both sides and a design that fits standard tracks or mounts, these panels let you keep an eye on the storm without compromising your safety.

24-Gauge Galvanized Steel Panels

When you need solid protection on a tight budget, our 24-gauge galvanized steel panels get the job done right. Stronger than fabric and smarter than plywood, these panels shield your windows from flying debris and store neatly when skies are clear. They're lightweight, reusable, and tested tough — so you can rest easy knowing your home's buttoned up when the storm comes callin'.
