Commercial Shutter Solutions: FAQ

Professional storm protection and decorative solutions for businesses, apartments, and property managers in the Carolinas.

Do you provide shutters for apartment complexes and multi-family housing?

Yes. We specialize in large-scale installations for apartment complexes, condos, and HOAs. We provide uniform, code-compliant hurricane protection that ensures safety while maintaining the aesthetic consistency required by property management.

Are your commercial shutters hurricane rated?

We provide both: High-Velocity Hurricane-Rated (HVHZ) systems for full storm defense and purely decorative shutters for curb appeal. Our rated systems meet the strictest commercial building codes in North and South Carolina.

Can motorized shutters be integrated into building management systems?

Yes. Our motorized rolldowns can be integrated into most smart building systems. This allows property managers to secure an entire building at once, which is vital for emergency preparation on large properties.

What are the best shutters for storefront security?

Rolldown shutters are the most effective solution for retail security. They provide a double-walled aluminum barrier that deters break-ins and protects inventory from both vandals and hurricane-force winds.

Do you offer decorative shutters for commercial curb appeal?

Yes. For businesses that do not need impact protection, we install decorative Colonial and Bahama shutters. These offer a classic look that enhances professional curb appeal without the expense of a rated system.

How do commercial shutters impact insurance premiums?

Installing rated shutters often qualifies commercial properties for wind mitigation credits. This can lead to a substantial reduction in insurance premiums, helping the investment pay for itself over time.

What maintenance is required for commercial-grade shutters?

We recommend a quarterly maintenance plan for commercial sites. This includes rinsing tracks to remove salt and debris, and lubricating side rails. We also offer service contracts to ensure your building’s protection is always functional.

Are clear hurricane screens a good option for restaurants or hotels?

Hurricane screens are excellent for outdoor dining and hospitality. They block wind and rain but remain translucent, so your guests can still enjoy the coastal views without feeling closed in.

Do you provide custom colors for brand consistency?

Yes. Our powder-coated finishes come in various standard colors, but we can also provide custom colors to match your corporate branding or the existing palette of your commercial complex.

What is the lead time for large commercial orders?

Large-scale projects typically require 6 to 10 weeks for custom manufacturing. Because commercial installations are complex, we recommend scheduling your on-site consultation as early as possible.
