Direct Source offers roll down shutter systems which provide complete hurricane protection. These shutters are mounted on the outside, and are custom designed shutter systems that consist of interlocking horizontal, extruded aluminum, double walled slats. The shutter can be easily controlled from the interior or exterior of the structure using a handcrank or electric motor and may be rolled to any desired position. Roll down shutter systems have been approved by all local building codes, and are versatile and adaptable.

Direct Source offers two choices of storm panels: Aluminum and Lexan. These panels are the most economical form of storm protection for both homes and businesses. Storm panels meet South Florida Building Code impact and cyclic pressure test (Dade County Approved). They are the only product engineered for gulf coast residential and commercial building practices. All storm panels can be installed with header and sill or a direct mount, which eliminates the need for upper and lower tracks. Storm panels require minimal storage space and are easier to handle than plywood. Aluminum and Lexan storm panels will not shatter, rust, or corrode, and offer superior strength with a warranty. The Aluminum and Lexan panels are comparable to each other; however, the Lexan are completely clear, and are made out of ultra-light weight materials.

Direct Source also offers Accordion Shutters as another alternative for hurricane protection. The Accordion shutter system can be stored on either or both ends of an opening and can be drawn closed and locked, only to be opened by a key. The systems are designed for installation on sliding glass doors, windows, balconies, glassrooms, or decks. The Accordion shutter has a bent radius track, which allows the shutter to precisely fit even odd shaped balconies. The Accordion shutters have been tested to withstand 140 mph winds and are approved by the Dade County Building Code.
