Hurricane Shutters

Learning from the number, intensity and devastation of hurricanes affecting South Florida, Louisiana and Mexico over the past few years, smart homeowners are protecting their property and family with hurricane shutters.

The most popular type of hurricane shutter by far is the accordion hurricane shutter that closes and locks simply from inside or out.

Proline’s rolling shutters are attractive while providing the ultimate in security and hurricane protection for your home or business. They have been used in Europe for over one hundred years making them the first shutter developed for security purposes.

Rolling shutters were first used in commercial buildings to keep burglars out and to get protection from the environment. With enhancements in performance and design, the use of rolling shutters expanded to security and hurricane protection for homes and condominiums.

Bahama shutters are large exterior shutters.  The openings face down so they look like slated awnings over windows. When closed at the bottom, they provide wind and impact protection.

Bahama shutters reduce your air conditioning needs by cutting down on the heat of direct sun while the louvered slats provide ventilation. They are mounted with a top hinge and use adjustable, telescoping  side arms to remain fully or partially open.

Colonial shutters are reminiscent of the beautiful center-hall mansions of the northeastern estates. They are suitable for homes made of brick, cinder block and wood.

Open, colonial shutters add charm and character, and therefore value, to any home.  Closed, they add protection from sun, rain and wind.  Colonial shutters are timeless and offer a quaint peaceful feeling to a home while offering great protection.

Living in a high-rise is a wonderful experience.  Until you experience hurricane winds.  This is when you realize the importance of having hurricane protection on your property.
