Manually Installed Galvanized or Aluminum Hurricane Panels
The most common hurricane shutter option is galvanized or aluminum hurricane panels. They are made from light-weight corrugated metal that is very strong and can be installed vertically or horizontally over an opening. These panels are usually put up when there is threat of a storm, and taken down after. Some homeowners choose to leave them up for the entire hurricane season.
Various attachment systems are available. The window will be completely covered when installed, and you can’t see out of the window once they are in place.
This is generally the least expensive type of shutter protection. The panels are designed to be easy to carry, but can be awkward when installing over large openings. You can install them yourself, or hire a professional for the hard part. You will need a place to store the panels when they are not in use.

Manually Installed Clear Polycarbonate Hurricane Panels
This style is similar to galvanized or aluminum hurricane panels, but the corrugated panel is a clear polycarbonate. Some people refer to them as Lexan shutters. The main benefit of the polycarbonate shutters is that light can get through the opening, and you can see the conditions outside. They can be installed vertically or horizontally over an opening. These panels are usually put up when there is threat of a storm, and taken down after. Some homeowners choose to leave them up for the entire hurricane season.
Various attachment systems are available. The window will be completely covered when installed, but you will still get light through the window once they are in place.
