Hurricane Shutters: Styles and Options

Directly after the 2005 storm, over 600,000 Gulf Coast families were homeless, and for the past decade those that returned have taken measures to prevent future damage to their homes.

Hurricane shutters also ease the process of before storm prep by eliminating the need for ply wood coverings over glass windows and doors. Some shutter types, such as roll down hurricane shutters, even include automated options for even more convenient use.
