The Clearly-Protected Shutter armors windows and doors with up to four times the impact resistance of a half-inch of plywood, and yet it's up to 30-50 percent lighter than the metal panels traditionally used.

Most appealing is the fact that the Lexan panels are both hightly effective and beautifully clear, letting in natural light and enhancing the attractiveness of the home. Buildings traditionally boarded up with plywood or metal panels can be unsightly, dark, and oppressive, and in that sense may invite vandalism or burglary. The GE XL-10 we use also has UV protection on bothsides.

Unlike metal or plywood shutter panels, Our shutters can be left in place for the entire hurricane season. They outperform metal in that they won't rust of corrode, and they retain their shape after impact. A single clearly-protected shutter can completely cover a window or door, which eliminates the need for multiple panels and adds to the panel's attractiveness and ease of installation.
