The most affordable code-compliant hurricane protection in Davie. Same impact rating as accordion or roll-down at a fraction of the cost.
Get Your Free QuoteCorrugated aluminum or steel panels (typically 12 to 24 inches wide) bolt into permanent tracks installed around each window and door. When a storm approaches, carry panels from storage, slide them into tracks, and tighten wing-nuts to secure.
The trade-off is convenience. Panel shutters live in your garage 8–10 months a year and need physical installation before each storm. For a full home with 16–20 openings, plan 3–6 hours of work.
About half what accordion shutters cost. The most economical path to code compliance for budget-conscious homeowners and rental properties.
Flat panels stack neatly against a garage wall. A full set for a 2,500 sq ft home takes about the same space as a stack of plywood sheets.
Aluminum panels: 20–30 years. Steel panels: 30+ years with basic care.
Install just the tracks now ($1,500–$3,000 for a full home) and add panels later as budget allows.

Many homeowners combine shutter types. The most common pattern: accordion shutters on the first floor (deployed in minutes by one person), panel shutters on the second floor (deployed once or twice per season). This cuts full-home accordion cost by 30–40% while keeping deployment manageable.
