Motorized roller, accordion, and Bahama-style shutters engineered for the Atlantic coast — from the Jersey Shore to the Florida panhandle. Miami-Dade impact-rated systems that disappear into slim aluminum housings until a storm is forecast, then deploy in under 60 seconds.
Storm shutters are motorized aluminum panels that deploy over windows, doors, and openings to protect against hurricane-force wind, wind-borne debris, and storm surge. Modern systems are built-in, not bolted on — permanently installed in slim housings above each opening and stowed out of sight until needed. The best units are Miami-Dade NOA certified (the toughest impact standard in the United States) and deploy in under a minute at the press of a button.
Florida Building Code + Miami-Dade NOA certified systems available. Tested to resist a 9-lb 2×4 traveling at 34 mph — the hurricane-debris standard.
One-button operation from inside the house. No ladders, no plywood, no panels to store or install. Under 60 seconds for a whole-house deployment.
Most coastal homeowners insurance carriers offer a wind mitigation credit of 10–30% on premiums for homes with certified impact shutters. The shutters pay for themselves.
Slim slats that coil into a compact aluminum housing above each window. Invisible when retracted, deploy vertically in under 30 seconds. The most common high-end shutter system for coastal homes.
Side-mounted folding shutters that pull horizontally across an opening and lock in the middle. The most cost-effective impact shutter, typical on Florida residential. Stack flat in housings when not in use.
Top-hinged architectural shutters that prop out from the window to provide shade year-round, and fold down flat against the opening in a storm. A historical Caribbean look appropriate for coastal Florida architecture and Shore vernacular.
Side-hinged two-panel shutters that swing closed from either side of the window and lock in the center. Traditional New England / Mid-Atlantic architectural look. Now available in impact-rated aluminum for coastal compliance.
Cape May, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Margate, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle. Noreaster + hurricane protection. Local code-compliant.
Annapolis, Severna Park, Easton, St. Michaels, Ocean City MD. Bay-front + ocean-front homes. Chesapeake storm spec.
Gainesville, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ocala, Palm Beach, Destin, Pensacola, Panama City. Miami-Dade NOA certified installs.
Coastal homeowners don’t wait for a hurricane warning to install shutters — supply, permitting, and installer capacity all tighten sharply in June. Plan in spring. Install in summer. Live through hurricane season without the plywood.
