Panel Shutter (Storm Panels)

  • Storm panels are flat, corrugated, or rigid sheets made of aluminum, steel, polycarbonate, or composite materials that mount over openings just before a storm hits.

  • They offer high-impact resistance and can be cost-effective, though they require storage when not in use and are less convenient to deploy quickly.

  • Polycarbonate or clear panels offer visibility while protecting the structure, and fabric variants even allow some light while still providing defense.
