Outdoor Window Shutters

The first type of exterior window shutters are called storm shutters. In areas where there are hurricanes it is very important to have this type of outside window shutter, which are also known as hurricane shutters, because they protect the glass windows from breaking from the wind and debris during a storm or hurricane.

There are a number of different types of storm shutters and here we will list some of them:

• Rolling Shutters: These outdoor window shutters roll up like a garage door therefore they are called rolling shutters. They can be operated from the outside ass well as the inside making it easier to operate during stormy weather (which is the reason for having these exterior shutters in the first place). They can also come with a motor that is designed to close the shutters when the winds reach a certain level.
• Bahama Hurricane Shutters are storm shutters that are also decorative giving it a dual purpose; beauty and security. The only drawback is that they can only be closed from the outside which is quite inconvenient when a storm is brewing and you need to go outside to close the shutters.
• Accordion Shutters are aluminum storm shutters that open like an accordion (hence the name) and stack at the sides of the window like vertical blinds.

Here you can see an extensive library of custom carved designs that can be carved onto custom exterior shutters.
