"THE FIRST ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE HURRICANE SHUTTER"

Hurricane shutters are a fact of life here in Southeastern North Carolina, especially for residents of our beautiful beach towns. With hurricane season stretching from June through November, our coastal properties must be ready to withstand any size storm that may hit.

Protecting your home and business is a top priority when preparing for a hurricane. Storm panels and shutters prove to be an economical, time and energy saving solution to protecting your home from hurricane force winds and rain.

We are proud to be the local distributor and manufacturer of Wilmington, NC's very own signature storm shutter and panel, STORM SHIELD SYSTEMS. We believe that our Storm Shield Hurricane Shutter is the best storm shutter system currently available to the market place. Made from recycled plastic, it is without a doubt our FLAGSHIP PRODUCT!

In addition to being environmentally responsible, Storm Shield Systems provides the client with the least architectural intrusive option to protect their home or business and can be installed from the inside of your home!

Widely known as the "Invisible System," Storm Shields Systems™ literally can't be seen when not in use. And unlike wood and aluminum alternatives, Storm Shield Systems™ will not rot, rust, crack, peel, or compromise the architectural beauty of your home or business. Stainless steel inserts are installed into the window trim to receive the thumbturns used to hold the interlocking panels in place. When not in use, the inserts are hidden with plugs that are flush to the trim. Even from just a few feet away, the system is invisible to the naked eye.

Storm Shield Systems™ panels are precision-cut and customized for each opening. The interlocking panels prevent damage that is often not covered by insurance. The panels can be installed on all types of building materials, including brick, aluminum, vinyl, wood and stucco. Special applications, such as arched and bay windows, entries, palladian windows and sliding doors can easily be accommodated.

Inside Application System

Storm Shield Systems™ brings you the most secure and cost-effective system for those hard-to-reach windows in your home or office: the Inside Application. Using the same dense cellular foam found in the standard Storm Shield System™, the Inside Application safely protects your double-hung windows by allowing you to install the system from inside your home. When installed on doors, it also gives you the flexibility to remain within your home with an easy exit and entry.

Perma Clear™ Systems

Perma Clear™ is the crystal-clear storm shield alternative. This transparent material is 300 times stronger than glass and can remain affixed to your windows throughout the entire hurricane season. Perma Clear ™ is UV retardant, which not only protects your furniture, draperies or office equipment from the sun’s damaging rays, but also insures the system will not discolor or yellow. An anti-abrasive element protects Perma Clear™ from imperfections caused by flying debris and preserves this invisible system’s transparent finish for years to come. Perma Clear™ is a truly “invisible” shield that is the perfect solution for hard-to-reach windows, specialty windows such as stained glass or any aperture that requires a fixed, protective barrier. When combined with standard Storm Shield panels, Perma Clear™ creates a view panel that allows you to view storm conditions from the safety of your home. As with all Storm Shield Systems, Perma Clear™ panels are lightweight, waterproof and custom-cut for each window.

ROLL-DOWN, ACCORDION and BAHAMA HURRICANE SHUTTER SYSTEMS

We also offer Roll-Down Shutters, Accordion Shutters and Bahama Shutters through CROCI North America.

Roll Down Shutters, also known as Rolling Shutters, are installed and stored above the windows, requiring no extra storage. They are easily rolled down to prepare for a storm and offer excellent protection.

Accordion Shutters are one or two-piece hurricane shutters that are installed and stored beside windows or doors. They easily fold in and out, accordion-style, to protect your openings and also don't require any extra storage.

Bahama Shutters are louvered shutters that are installed over the window and propped open when not in use for storm protection. These shutters provide shade for the window in addition to protection from storms when lowered and fastened into place.
Whether Roll-Down shutters, Accordion Shutters, Bahama Shutters, or Storm Panels, Hurricane Shutters offer the most convenient, economical, and proven way to protect your window openings from flying debris and wind-driven rain.

HEAR WHAT SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:

"After reviewing all the different hurricane shutter systems on the market we believe that Hurricane Protection Systems LLC’s very own Storm Shield Systems is the best. Three things we were looking for.

1. Security - We felt your system offered the best security from wind and rain.
2. Visual Appearance- We just built a new home and the last thing we wanted to do was add a big bulky box above the windows for pull down shutters or add ugly rails that are needed for accordion style shutters.
3. Safety - Living in a three story home on the ICWW (where it is always windy) we believe it is not too safe for anyone to be on a ladder handling boards 30-35 feet in the air. Your inside installation was huge."

"Big Dan" Willard

We interviewed several companies before choosing Hurricane Protection Systems LLC. We chose the Crittenden brother's company for several reasons. One reason being they were local young professional businessmen who were eager to proudly show us their product. Their prices were comparable to other companies and their service proved to be outstanding!! In addition, the product was top of the line. One of the main reasons we chose them was that we felt comfortable allowing them access to our home when we unavailable. They gave us dependable, courteous service which was beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend them to potential clients looking for hurricane window protection.
