Hurricane shutters are heavy duty shutters designed to protect your house from hurricane damage. They're most often used on windows but hurricane shutters are also available for doors. Hurricane shutters protect your home from both wind-driven rain as well as wind-blown debris. By ensuring that your windows and doors remain intact, hurricane shutters protect you and your property.

Hurricane shutters are not screwed onto the house, like current decorative shutters, but instead are on hinges so they can swing shut over the window glass and latch together.
