See-Through Shutters

See-Through Shutters. According to its maker, the Armor Screen Fabric Hurricane Protection System defends windows from flying debris as effectively as plywood but installs and packs away much more easily. Plus it’s transparent, so the owners won’t feel like they’re riding out the storm in a cave. The basic kit – which secures with buckles and straps – costs about $8 per square foot. Sliding and electric or manual roll-up systems are also available; installed costs for them range from $25 to $60 per square foot. Armor Screen Corp., 561/841-8890, armorscreen.com.
