This includes pulling a permit and scheduling a final inspection with a county building inspector to confirm proper installation.
All of our shutters have successfully passed three grueling rounds of missile impact testing using an 8 foot 2×4 shot directly into the object while not allowing the 2×4 to penetrate the opening.
