Protecting and enhancing homes across Southeast Louisiana.

What is the best hurricane shutter for a home in South Louisiana?

There isn't a single “best” hurricane shutter for every home. The right choice depends on your home's architecture, your budget, how you want the protection to look, how quickly you want to prepare for a storm, and whether you want the product to provide everyday benefits as well.

Accordion Shutters are permanently attached, require no electricity, and can be secured in minutes.

Roll-Up Shutters offer the convenience of manual or motorized operation and are especially popular for second-story windows and large openings.

Bahama Shutters provide everyday shade, privacy, and coastal curb appeal while serving as hurricane protection when properly secured.

Colonial and Board & Batten Shutters enhance your home's appearance year-round while providing hurricane protection when closed.

Defender Hurricane Screens are an excellent solution for patios, outdoor living spaces, garages, and other large openings.

Hurricane Window Screens provide discreet, year-round protection with minimal impact on your home's appearance.

Removable Storm Panels are an economical option that are installed only when a storm is approaching. They're an excellent choice for windows where permanent shutters aren't practical or for homeowners who prefer not to have hurricane protection visible year-round.

Because Nu Code Shutters offers one of the widest selections of hurricane protection products in Southeast Louisiana, we're not limited to recommending a single product for your entire home. In many cases, the best solution is a combination of products selected specifically for each opening.

For example, a home may have Colonial shutters on the front for curb appeal, roll-up shutters on second-story windows for convenience, Defender Hurricane Screens enclosing the patio, and removable storm panels protecting a side or specialty-shaped window.

We'll help you design the solution that best fits your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Are storm-rated shutters worth the investment?

If you live in South Louisiana, many homeowners consider hurricane shutters one of the best investments they can make to protect their property.

In addition to helping protect windows and doors from wind-borne debris, many storm-rated products provide everyday benefits such as security, privacy, shade, and convenience. Depending on your home and insurance carrier, qualifying hurricane protection may also make your home eligible for wind mitigation insurance discounts.

Because every home is different, Nu Code Shutters offers a variety of hurricane protection systems and will help you select the products that best balance appearance, convenience, maintenance, and budget.

How long does it take to install shutters?

Most residential installations are completed in one day, although larger or more complex projects may take longer. Manufacturing lead times typically run 6 to 12 weeks depending on the product, seasonal demand, and material availability. If a manufacturer experiences production delays, lead times may extend.
