Pre-Mounted
Headers
Install once. Slide panels in pre-storm.
Compact
Storage

Clear or

Two panel options to match your home.
Real protection,
friendly price.
Lightweight Bertha™ .050 aluminum storm panels are the smart starter solution for hurricane-rated protection: pre-mounted headers and sills are installed once, then the panels themselves slide into place ahead of a storm. They're available in clear or aluminum panels and lightweight enough for one person to install.
Despite the friendly price, storm panels are built to the same impact certification as our accordion and roll systems. They're also the easiest system to add to over time — start with storm panels everywhere, then upgrade specific openings (master bedroom windows, front entries) to roll-downs or accordions when the budget allows.

Storm panel
questions.
What homeowners ask before they book.
What are hurricane storm panels?
Lightweight Bertha .050 aluminum or clear panels that slide into headers and sills we install once on each opening. Before a storm you put the panels up; afterward they stack flat in a closet or garage.
Are storm panels as protective as permanent shutters?
Storm panels are built to the same impact certification as our accordion and roll-down systems. The trade-off is convenience: someone has to put them up before each storm and take them down after.
Clear or aluminum storm panels?
Clear panels let daylight into the house while the storm passes. Aluminum panels are the lightest and most economical. Many homes use clear panels on the main living areas and aluminum elsewhere.
Can one person install storm panels?
Yes. The panels are light enough for one person to set, and the headers and sills stay mounted year-round so each panel drops straight into place.
Can I upgrade from storm panels later?
Yes. Many owners start with storm panels everywhere, then upgrade key openings such as the main bedroom or front entry to roll-down or accordion shutters as the budget allows.
Where do you install storm panels?
Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Conway, Little River, Longs, Pawleys Island and Carolina Forest, plus the Charleston area.
