Storm panels in Carteret County.
Hurricane Florence taught Carteret County what wind-borne debris can do — and storm panels remain the most affordable way to cover every opening before the next one. Shade Coast custom-cuts Bertha .050 impact-certified aluminum and clear panels for each window and door, then mounts permanent headers and sills so a Cape Carteret or Newport home can be fully protected in an afternoon and unbuttoned just as fast.
Bertha .050
Impact Certified
Rated to Dade County impact standards — the toughest coastal code.
Best Value
Protection
The lowest-cost way to cover every opening on a Crystal Coast home.
Lightweight &
Stackable
Far easier to handle and store than plywood — no waste after the storm.
Certified cover, sensible price.
Not every house needs permanent shutters. For a Down East homestead, a Harkers Island fish camp, or a starter home in Newport, storm panels deliver the same certified protection for a fraction of the cost. We fit each panel to a specific opening, and the pre-mounted headers and sills give you a secure, gap-free installation when a system is tracking toward the Crystal Coast. Once it passes, the panels lift out and stack flat in the garage until they're needed again.
Shade Coast offers both non-rust aluminum panels and clear polycarbonate panels. Clear panels skip the boarded-up gloom entirely — daylight still reaches your rooms and you can keep an eye on the yard while the weather blows through. Headers and sills come finished in white or bronze electrostatic paint, and inside pulls make second-story panels far easier to set on elevated coastal homes.
