At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we understand that choosing the right shutters is essential for both enhancing your home's curb appeal and securing it from severe weather. While many homeowners think of plantation shutters as a stylish option, we specialize in a variety of shutters that offer superior protection, durability, and aesthetic appeal, especially for homes in storm-prone areas. Our focus is on shutters that safeguard your property from hurricanes, high winds, and flying debris—something plantation shutters cannot do.

We offer expert installation of a range of shutters including colonial shutters, accordion shutters, Bahama shutters, motorized roll-down shutters, hurricane impact patio screens, and hurricane impact garage screens. While plantation shutters are known for their charm indoors, they simply cannot offer the kind of protection needed for your home's exterior, particularly in areas prone to hurricanes and extreme weather. Here's why you should consider our premium shutters over plantation shutters for storm protection.

Why Choose Our Shutter Options Over Plantation Shutters?

Colonial Shutters for Timeless Protection and Style

Colonial shutters provide the perfect blend of functionality and beauty. Unlike plantation shutters, which are typically used inside the home, colonial shutters are built specifically for storm protection. They are designed to withstand the force of hurricane winds and flying debris, keeping your windows safe. With their classic, elegant appearance, colonial shutters enhance the aesthetic value of your home while offering much-needed security. Plantation shutters simply cannot offer the same level of durability and protection when it comes to safeguarding your home during a storm.

Accordion Shutters for Maximum Durability and Ease

Accordion shutters are one of the most durable and reliable storm protection options on the market. These shutters can be easily deployed when severe weather approaches, providing unmatched protection against wind, rain, and debris. While plantation shutters are lovely indoors, they don’t offer the necessary strength or resilience to protect your home from harsh weather. Accordion shutters, on the other hand, are engineered to endure the toughest conditions, offering peace of mind when a storm is approaching.

Bahama Shutters for Tropical Appeal and Added Storm Defense

Bahama shutters or Bermuda shutters are perfect for homeowners who want to add a tropical flair to their homes, especially those in coastal regions. These shutters not only provide shade but are also designed to protect your windows from extreme weather. Plantation shutters are often more suited for interior design and do not offer any meaningful defense against high winds or flying debris. Bahama shutters, however, give you both aesthetic charm and essential protection, making them a great alternative for homes exposed to coastal storms.

Motorized Roll-Down Shutters for Ultimate Convenience and Protection

Motorized roll-down shutters are the pinnacle of convenience and effectiveness. With just a push of a button, you can deploy these shutters, securing your windows and doors quickly and effortlessly. Unlike plantation shutters, which are typically operated manually and do not provide any protection against hurricanes, our motorized roll-down shutters are designed to offer both aesthetic appeal and serious storm defense. They are a perfect option for homeowners who want to prepare their home for a storm without the manual labor required by plantation shutters.

Hurricane Impact Patio and Garage Screens for Comprehensive Protection

Our hurricane impact patio screens and garage screens are essential for securing outdoor spaces that are often overlooked in storm preparations. These impact screens are designed to protect larger openings such as patio doors and garage entries from flying debris during a storm. Plantation shutters are typically used for windows and provide no coverage for wider openings. Our impact screens ensure that your entire home, including your outdoor living spaces and garage, is protected when a storm hits.

Why Plantation Shutters Don’t Provide Storm Protection

While plantation shutters can certainly enhance the beauty of your interior spaces, they are not designed for storm protection. Plantation shutters are typically installed indoors, offering no defense against hurricane-force winds, flying debris, or heavy rainfall. On the other hand, the shutters we specialize in—such as colonial shutters, accordion shutters, and motorized roll-down shutters—are specifically designed to withstand severe weather conditions and provide comprehensive protection for your home. Plantation shutters simply cannot offer the necessary defense for your windows, doors, patios, and garages when facing the threat of a storm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should I choose your shutters over plantation shutters?

While plantation shutters are a popular choice for interior décor, they are not designed to provide storm protection. At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we specialize in shutters like colonial, accordion, Bahama, and motorized roll-down shutters, which are specifically engineered to protect your home from hurricanes, high winds, and flying debris. These shutters offer both superior storm defense and aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for homes in storm-prone areas.

How do motorized roll-down shutters work?

Motorized roll-down shutters provide an easy and efficient way to protect your home. With just the push of a button, these shutters roll down automatically, securing your windows and doors. This is much more convenient than the manual operation required for plantation shutters, and motorized roll-downs are also designed to withstand hurricanes and severe storms, offering both storm protection and convenience.

Are your shutters easy to install?

Yes! Our expert team handles all aspects of shutter installation, ensuring that each shutter is securely fitted to your home and operates properly. From colonial shutters to motorized roll-downs, we provide professional installation to ensure your shutters are installed with precision and efficiency.
