Why should you have hurricane shutters at home?
Here are five solid reasons to install them right away:
1. They stop flying debris
Built to be as strong as steel, hurricane shutters can stop nearly any object that high winds might hurl at your home. In other words, installing them turns your house into a fortress — where you can safely ride out the storm, knowing wind, rain, and debris won’t break in.
2. They’re easy to install
Let’s be honest — boarding up windows and doors is exhausting. Just the thought of buying plywood, setting it up, and later tearing it down is enough to make some people skip it altogether. But with modern hurricane shutters, protecting your home is as easy as sliding a panel, turning a crank, or pressing a button. Goodbye stress!
3. They’re low-profile and easy to store
These shutters are installed along the edges of your windows and doors, so they barely take up space. Just fold or roll them up and they’ll stay neatly out of the way until you need them again.
4. They’re durable, reliable, and eco-friendly
Unlike wood panels, duct tape, or other DIY solutions, hurricane shutters are built to last for years. That means you can reuse them storm after storm. Plus, by ditching wood and single-use plastics, you’ll help reduce deforestation and pollution.
5. You choose: light or darkness
One of the best things about hurricane shutters is the control they give you. Aluminum shutters, when fully closed, block out all sunlight — turning your home into a secure, shaded shelter. On the other hand, transparent polycarbonate shutters let in natural light while still keeping your home protected. You can see outside and enjoy the daylight, even in the middle of a storm.
