If you live in a hurricane prone area, you may wonder if you can ever fix your dream glass paned windows to your homes without the violent winds crashing them down every time. In the recent past, many have experienced devastating tornados and hurricanes which have destroyed precious homes and lovely window panes. Rebuilding and clearing up after a storm breaks your heart every time seeing the damage to your property.

Solve all your security woes instantly, by installing the ultimate exterior security shutters. Security exterior window shutters protect your homes and your glass panes in times of catastrophes.

Types of security shutters

There are many types of security or hurricane shutters in the market made with durable metal according to your needs. Some shutters are fixed permanently whereas some are removable and can be fixed as soon as you see a storm brewing.

Rolling shutters

These are the finest and most convenient shutters one can have. They are opportune and classy at the same time. The rolling shutters usually have a motor mechanism which rolls down the shutters at the flip of a button – operated by a remote control. The beauty of this is that you may roll out the enclosed shutters one by one or all at once giving you instant protection during a sudden storm. They definitely come with a price and work out best when fixed in a large home with many areas to cover like the patios, many large French windows, the galleries etc.

Accordion shutters

These shutters look like the pleated part of the accordion which is folded neatly on one side on the window. When you want to close them, you can do so by pulling them all the way.

The security shutters prove to be invaluable when you close up for the night to prevent break-ins and other damage. Though you may need to stretch your pocket, it really saves your pocket from scorching a hole!

We just added two new color lines in the Comfortex “sunscreens”. First is the Silver Screens II. Five new colors with that cool aluminum backing that gives this sunscreen the best reflective value on the market. The second group is called the Designer Screens in the Envisions collection. The Designer Screens are made of 100% polyester and have some of the nicest see-through fabrics out there. Another Comfortex first. Both lines are a 5% openness factor which is the most popular for the sunscreens.

We just received the new Comfortex Envision roller shade book. It has a huge selection of new style roller shades. We will post this new product online as soon as we get sampling. The only thing that seems to remain the same verses the old Serenade book is the SilverScreens, Polynesian Sands, South Pacific, Suede Impressions, and some of the Phifer Sunscreens. We will keep you up to date once the samples arrive and promptly have a sale to kick off this new product line. The specs seem to be much greater than the old Serenade book.

Although business has been slow (that time of year), we have been very very busy. First, Shades Shutters Blinds redesigned our showroom with the most up to date blinds on the market.

The Denver area had two major blizzards one week of each other. The first on dumped 3 feet of snow! That forced us to close for 5 days. It took me 7 hours just to dig out of my driveway.

We added a junk blinds sale that is old stuff returned to our store. They were either misfits or overstocks. We put those online at around 50% below our cost. However, any offer will work. We just need to get rid of them to make room for our cut Internet samples.

That bieng said, we are still redesigneing our website and adding tons and tons of new products. This month we have added roller shades with over 200 different styles and options. Our woven wood collection is now massive with over 300 differnt styles and colors. We will soon be adding new plantation shutters, motorized options, roman shades and vertical blinds.

Sales for january are: 5% off all Hunter Douglas Duette UltraGlides.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year.
