Storm panels in Carteret County.

Storm protection, Carteret County

Certified cover, sensible price.

Not every house needs permanent shutters. For a Down East homestead, a Harkers Island fish camp, or a starter home in Newport, storm panels deliver the same certified protection for a fraction of the cost. We fit each panel to a specific opening, and the pre-mounted headers and sills give you a secure, gap-free installation when a system is tracking toward the Crystal Coast. Once it passes, the panels lift out and stack flat in the garage until they're needed again.

Wilmington Awning offers both non-rust aluminum panels and clear polycarbonate panels. Clear panels skip the boarded-up gloom entirely — daylight still reaches your rooms and you can keep an eye on the yard while the weather blows through. Headers and sills come finished in white or bronze electrostatic paint, and inside pulls make second-story panels far easier to set on elevated coastal homes.

• Bertha .050 Aluminum Panels — non-rust, lightweight, and impact certified to Dade County standards.
• Clear Storm Panels — let light through and preserve visibility while you ride out the storm.
• White or bronze hardware — discreet headers and sills that stay mounted year-round.
• Inside pulls for upper levels — safer, simpler installation on second-story openings.
