The Benefits of Hurricane Panels from RollShield for Homes and Businesses in Clearwater, FL

Hurricane panels

What are hurricane panels?

Proven, cost-effective storm protection for Clearwater homes and businesses

When hurricane season arrives in Florida, protecting your home or business becomes a top priority. Hurricane panels are one of the most reliable and affordable ways to safeguard your property from high winds, flying debris, and heavy rain. At RollShield, we specialize in designing and installing custom hurricane panels for Clearwater, FL, and surrounding Tampa Bay communities.

Our panels are available in high-strength aluminum or galvanized steel, offering a balance of performance, durability, and ease of use. Whether you’re covering standard windows, sliding glass doors, or wide storefront openings, RollShield hurricane panels provide dependable protection that meets the demands of Florida’s toughest weather conditions.

Custom-fitted protection for your property

No two properties are the same — that’s why our hurricane panels are custom-sized and engineered for a precise fit. Each panel is measured and fabricated to match your specific window or door dimensions, ensuring complete coverage and a secure barrier when storms hit.

Before hurricane season begins, our team installs permanent anchor tracks or fasteners on your property’s exterior. When a storm approaches, you can quickly attach your panels using these anchors — no guesswork or complicated setup required. Once the threat has passed, the panels can be easily removed and stored compactly in your garage or storage space until the next use.

This approach allows homeowners and business owners to enjoy maximum protection without permanently altering the building’s appearance. When the panels are off, your property looks clean, modern, and unobstructed.

Advantages of choosing RollShield hurricane panels

1. Affordability

RollShield hurricane panels deliver exceptional protection at a budget-friendly price. Compared to rolling shutters or impact-resistant glass, panels provide a cost-effective way to storm-proof your property without sacrificing quality or compliance. This makes them a great option for homeowners, property managers, and business owners seeking reliable protection without a large investment.

2. Reliable protection

Every RollShield panel is tested and approved to meet Miami-Dade County and Florida Building Code standards, ensuring resilience against hurricane-force winds and flying debris. This code compliance guarantees that your installation meets or exceeds local safety requirements — a must for properties in the Clearwater and Tampa Bay area.

Our panels can withstand the harshest impact tests, giving you confidence that your windows, doors, and entryways are shielded by a system built to last.

3. Long-lasting durability

Crafted from premium-grade aluminum or galvanized steel, our hurricane panels are designed to resist rust, corrosion, and warping. They hold up to repeated use season after season, providing a sustainable, long-term solution for storm protection. Their reusability also makes them an environmentally responsible choice — once you invest, you can depend on them for years to come without replacement.

4. Easy installation and storage

Convenience is a major advantage of hurricane panels. RollShield’s system uses pre-installed tracks and fasteners that make setup fast and straightforward. Even large properties can be secured quickly when a storm warning is issued.

Afterward, simply remove the panels and stack them flat for compact storage. Because they take up minimal space and are lightweight, they’re easy to manage and reuse whenever hurricane season approaches.

5. Protection for both residential and commercial properties

From single-family homes and condominiums to retail storefronts and office buildings, RollShield hurricane panels are adaptable for all types of structures. Their modular design allows for flexible coverage across large glass surfaces, entryways, or even irregular openings.

Commercial clients appreciate the low-maintenance, high-protection benefits that fit seamlessly with their building’s architecture, while homeowners enjoy knowing their family and investment are secure.

Why invest in hurricane panels?

Florida’s hurricane season can bring unpredictable and destructive storms — and preparation is the best defense. Investing in RollShield hurricane panels helps you:

  • Prevent costly storm damage to windows, doors, and interior spaces.
  • Protect your investment and maintain property value.
  • Reduce insurance costs, as many providers recognize and reward hurricane-rated systems.

Customer Reviews

With decades of trusted service in the Tampa Bay area, RollShield has built a strong reputation for excellence. Read what our customers have to say about their experience with us.

"This was our second home using RollShield. Our sales person was James and he got everything started for us. The items we wanted were verified and ordered in a timely manner. When everything was ready our installers arrived, removed the old awnings and completed the installation. Due to our construction they made an on site modification and that section came out perfect. Clean up was exceptional. I apologise for not having their names but I know they were from Albania. We would also like to mention and thank Emma, Kashana and our punch list guy Ron Branch . Thank you to all."

"I had an excellent experience with this company for my hurricane protection needs! Jane May provided outstanding service, demonstrating extensive product knowledge and offering a variety of solutions and options to suit my home. The service was top-notch, the product is high-quality, and the workers did an impeccable job with the installation. The communication from the office was also great, keeping me informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!"

Dallas

"We needed a service call on shutters installed by a different company probably 25 years ago. Donnie and Josh were on time and I immediately knew that Donnie had been doing this for a long time. He did a little engineering on site and got our old shutters working again! We will be making an appointment to get some new ones made for the front windows which were never protected. Very satisfied!"

Jim R.

"Experience from start to finish with JANE was professional and enjoyable- It’s refreshing having women in these careers. She was up front about lead times which I appreciated. Coming from a service field as well, I understand most of the process is out of the estimators control. I had impact windows installed just in time before the hurricanes start. Not only do I feel safer, my house looks sooo much better!! Thank you thank you!"

"RollShield did a great job installing hurricane shutters on four of our windows. Ron Branch made an excellent impression. He went out of his way to make a special trip to get our installation finalized on time. These are high quality, lockable shutters that can protect against hurricanes and intruders. This is a great addition to a house for both protection and to increase value. Highly recommended."

Duane E.

"Very satisfied with Company performance.
The salesman -Pete- gave us several options for Hurricane screens. We decided to go with Crimsafe Safescape Hurricane screens. The installers - Giliyar and Aaron- were professional and fast( hint - give them a raise). Emma, Pat, Gwen were a big help guiding with permits, schedules, answering questions, etc. Would definitely use Rollshield, LLC again."

Yelena S.

Tampa, FL

"I had 5 shutters installed late last year. The installation was great, and everything works as advertised, with no callbacks for any installation issues. My salesperson, Jane May, helped throughout the entire process, even when the HOA was being picky, all the way to the end."

John K.

Tampa, FL

"We have relied on Rollshield for over 15 years, having installed their roll-up and hurricane shutters on our home, and they have performed flawlessly through numerous near-miss hurricanes. Their products have stood the test of time and weather, giving us confidence and peace of mind. So, when my wife and I recently decided to add Kevlar hurricane curtains to our lanai, it was an easy decision to turn once again to Rollshield. Although there were some initial miscommunications, the Sales Manager handled the situation promptly and professionally, ensuring everything was resolved to our satisfaction. The installation team did a fabulous job, professional, efficient, and timely. We are pleased with the final result and continue to trust in the quality and service Rollshield provides. I strongly recommend Rollshield for all your shutter and storm protection needs."
