Storm panels in Charleston.
Storm panels are the most economical way to harden a Charleston home against a hurricane. Shade Coast custom-cuts Bertha .050 impact-certified aluminum and clear panels to your exact openings, then mounts permanent headers and sills so you can slide panels into place fast and stack them away once the all-clear sounds.
Bertha .050
Impact Certified
Rated to Dade County impact standards — the toughest coastal code.
Best Value
Protection
The lowest-cost way to fully cover a Charleston home before a storm.
Lightweight &
Stackable
Far easier to handle and store than plywood — no waste after the storm.
Maximum protection, minimum cost.
For Charleston homeowners who want certified hurricane protection without the price of permanent shutters, storm panels are hard to beat. Each panel is custom-fitted to a single window or door, then slides into pre-mounted headers and sills for a secure, gap-free fit when a storm threatens. After it passes, the panels lift out and stack flat in a garage or shed until next time.
Shade Coast offers both non-rust aluminum panels and clear polycarbonate panels. The clear option does away with the dark, boarded-up look — letting daylight into your home and keeping a view out, so you're not sitting in the dark during a long storm. Headers and sills come finished in white or bronze electrostatic paint to suit your exterior, and inside pulls make upper-level panels easier to set.
