The advantages are:

• Guaranteed protection during hurricanes.
• They go up a lot easier and quicker than plywood. 
• Headers and bottom tracks are always mounted to your home 
• Panels store easily on top of one another for minimal space requirements. 
• They are very cost efficient. 

Headers and tracks: these are the permanently mounted parts of this shutter product. They come in various configurations to fit all installation cases. The bottom tracks are designed so that screws are inserted from the side and then the wing nuts are secured after the panel is in place. The hardware is then removed and stored with the panels until the next time a storm approaches.

Panels: Roll formed from either .05” or .062” aluminum, the panels have a corrugated texture that allow them to overlap and support each other for maximum strength. The bolt holes are factory punched and configured to make installation quick and simple.

Fasteners: All East Coast Shutters & Awnings installations are made with stainless steel fasteners only!!! Since most installations are waterfront or very close to the ocean or bay we use only corrosive resistant stainless steel fasteners on all of our installs.
