storm shutters

Window armor, removable

Storm shutters are protective panels installed over windows to shield them from high winds and flying debris during hurricanes or severe storms.

They may be permanent fixtures that fold or roll into place, or removable panels stored until needed: We spent the morning putting up the storm shutters before the hurricane hit.
