At Houston Hurricane & Security Products, our bahama shutters aren't just for show—they are precision-engineered pieces of safety equipment. The strength of our bahama hurricane shutters comes from a combination of advanced metallurgy and structural physics designed to counteract the extreme forces of a Category 3 storm or higher.

• High-Velocity Impact Resistance: When a hurricane strikes, it’s rarely just the wind that breaks a window; it’s the debris the wind carries. This allows the shutter to absorb the kinetic energy of a flying object (like a tree limb or a roof tile) and deflect it away from the glass.
• Preventing Internal Pressurization: One of the most dangerous aspects of a storm is a broken window. Once a window is breached, air rushes into the home, creating a massive increase in internal pressure. This "upward lift" is often what causes a roof to blow off. By securing your bahama shutters before the storm, you maintain the structural envelope of your home, keeping the pressure equalized and your roof attached.
• The Advantage of Extruded Aluminum: Unlike cheap decorative shutters made from vinyl or thin roll-formed metal, our structural bahama hurricane shutters use an extrusion process. This means the aluminum is forced through a die to create a dense, uniform shape that is significantly stiffer and more durable, ensuring the louvers won't buckle under the immense "wind load" pressures of the Texas coast.
