How Do Hurricane Shutters Affect My Home’s Appearance?

Hurricane shutters can enhance or alter the appearance of your home, depending on the type and style chosen. While some shutters are designed to blend seamlessly with a home’s exterior, others are more utilitarian and may be visible when not in use.

Below, you will find answers to additional frequently asked questions related to the aesthetics of hurricane shutters.

Do Hurricane Shutters Come in Different Styles?

Yes, hurricane shutters are available in a variety of styles to match different home designs:

• Roll-Down Shutters: Discreet when not in use, housed in a small box above the window.
• Accordion Shutters: Fold away on the sides of windows, slightly visible but compact.
• Bahama Shutters: Stylish and functional, providing a tropical aesthetic even when open.
• Colonial Shutters: Designed to complement traditional architecture while offering storm protection.
• Storm Panels: Typically removed and stored when not in use, keeping the home’s exterior unchanged.

Choosing a shutter style that matches your home’s design can help maintain or enhance its overall curb appeal.

Can Hurricane Shutters Be Customized to Match My Home?

Many hurricane shutters can be customized in terms of color, material, and design to complement your home’s appearance. Popular options include:

• A variety of color finishes to match your home’s exterior.
• Different materials such as aluminum, steel, or polycarbonate for varying aesthetics.
• Architectural styles like Bahama and colonial shutters, which can enhance a home’s look rather than detract from it.

By selecting the right customization options, homeowners can achieve both storm protection and visual appeal.

Do Hurricane Shutters Affect Property Value?

In most cases, hurricane shutters increase a home’s value by adding storm protection, energy efficiency, and security. Buyers in hurricane-prone areas often see shutters as a desirable upgrade, making homes more attractive on the market.
