Thank you. Are these shutters secure enough for hurricanes? I need something simple yet effect that I don't have to overspend. The price of hurricane shutters are so expensive it's almost Criminal. Seems like if a plywood covering is sufficient, then we should be able to have functional plantation shutters. I hope that is an option!

Wood and composite shutters can provide some protection from tropical storms. However, they are not hurricane rated and simply can't protect a window like exterior shutters fabricated specifically for strong winds and object impact.

I'm really struggling with finding an example and recommendation for functional board and batten shutters over vinyl siding. Do you have any recommendations?

@ShutterLand 2 года назад

Functional shutters need to be installed with hinges that attach to both the building and the shutter. The area of the structure where the hinge connects needs a solid member for the screw to grip. The framing around the window may provide that support. It is difficult to answer definitively because each window is different.

What do you do when louvered windows prevent shutters from mounting inside the window and need to Cover the outside of the window?

@ShutterLand 4 года назад

Thanks for the question. In the event that the window is not deep enough to accommodate the exterior shutters inside of the opening, the panels will sit just in front of the window trim. The shutters will need to be slightly wider and taller than the window opening and mount with hinges that have zero offset, sometimes called "New Construction" hinges (see www.shutterland.com/exterior-shutter-hardware/exterior-shutter-hinges/ for assistance).

Can you do a video on functional exterior shutters mounted on the face frame that will not fold in the openings.

@ShutterLand 6 месяцев назад

We can do that. However, the installation process with be very similar to what is shown in this video.

Holy crap, pre-drill your holes so you don't split the wood on the shutters!

Too much work and too expensive. I don't have some brick mansion. I'll just take some old rotted drapes and screw them into the outside of my windows since I can't find a single video that does this affordable.

OK.
