I have the “Storm Stoppers” system. It was with my home when I purchased 12 years ago. There have only been a few times I have put them on, including last years hurricane. I used to live near the coast, Port Charlotte, and there most all of the homes had the metal shutters. When I moved here I really didn’t plan on having any shutters but they came with the home. They certainly are not rated as high as the metal but for this area away from the coast I believe they are sufficient. The resistance to flying objects penetrating windows is a big plus. They certainly gave me peace of mind last year.
