Storm Shutters: The job of any storm shutter is to protect your glass areas from breakage when hit by flying debris. There are many styles and types of both permanent and temporary shutters.

1. Permanent shutters such as Roll-Up, Colonial, and Bahama come closest to maintaining the architectural integrity of your home. Roll-Up shutters, due to their ease of operation can also be used for security, light and sound control, and insulation. Storm shutters may be closed for no more than seven days prior to the projected arrival of a storm and must be opened within seven days after the storm has passed. All permanent shutters, including any not mentioned above, require the prior approval of the Modifications Committee before installation.

2. Temporary shutters, such as corrugated panels and plywood, require some planning and effort to install and remove. In addition, provisions need to be made for their proper storage (out of sight) when not in use. Temporary shutters may be installed seven days prior to the projected arrival of a storm to impact our area. The removal and storage of temporary shutters should occur within seven days after the storm has passed. Due to the time sensitive nature of temporary shutters, prior approval of the Modifications Committee is not necessary. However it is necessary to adhere to the installation and removal timing noted above.
