Our dedicated team at Lafferty Hurricane Protection specializes in hurricane protection, offering a wide range of hurricane shutters and hurricane-grade motorized screens. We prioritize premium materials to ensure your home is safeguarded against severe weather.
Many homes throughout Merritt Island feature large sliding glass doors opening to patios, pools, waterfront views, screened lanais, and backyard living spaces. While these oversized glass openings provide natural light and easy outdoor access, they can also become one of the most vulnerable areas of a home during hurricanes and severe coastal storms.
At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we install hurricane shutters for sliding glass doors in Merritt Island designed to help protect homes from flying debris, strong wind pressure, and storm-related damage. Our team works with homeowners throughout Brevard County to recommend practical hurricane protection systems based on opening size, coastal exposure, ease of operation, and long-term durability in Florida’s climate.
Sliding glass doors are popular in Florida homes for their beauty and convenience, but they are also one of the weakest points during hurricanes. Without proper storm protection, they are prone to:
That’s why homeowners throughout Merritt Island are turning to hurricane shutters designed specifically for sliding glass doors. Our shutters are built to withstand the toughest conditions, ensuring you’re storm-ready year after year.
Many Merritt Island homes feature rear patio sliders, canal-facing patios, pool deck access doors, and large glass openings exposed to coastal winds and severe weather. Homes located near waterways, open backyard areas, and coastal exposure often experience stronger wind pressure during hurricane season.
Our team commonly helps homeowners protect:
Because every home layout is different, our team carefully measures each sliding glass door opening to help ensure the shutter system is properly fitted and compliant with Florida wind-load requirements.
Homes throughout Merritt Island are exposed to Florida humidity, heavy rain, salt air, and year-round coastal weather conditions. Over time, these environmental factors can impact exterior hurricane protection systems, especially moving parts, tracks, and hardware.
That’s why our team recommends hurricane shutter systems designed for long-term coastal durability and encourages homeowners to:
Routine maintenance helps extend the lifespan of hurricane shutters and keeps systems operating smoothly year after year.
Choosing the right hurricane shutter system depends on the size of the opening, how quickly you want to secure the home before a storm, and the level of coastal exposure your property experiences. At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we help Merritt Island homeowners choose shutter systems designed for reliable storm protection and long-term durability in Florida’s coastal climate.
Accordion shutters are one of the most popular choices for large sliding glass doors because they remain permanently attached to the home and can be secured quickly before severe weather arrives. These shutters slide along a built-in track system and are ideal for patios, lanais, pool areas, and waterfront openings.

Roll-down shutters are a premium hurricane protection solution designed for homeowners who prioritize convenience and cleaner aesthetics. Available in both manual and motorized systems, these shutters can secure large sliding glass doors within seconds while maintaining a sleek appearance when not in use.
Roll-down shutters are especially popular for:
Bahama shutters combine hurricane protection with classic Florida coastal style. Mounted from the top, they also provide shade benefits that help reduce glare and heat exposure on sun-facing areas of the home.
These shutters are commonly installed on windows and smaller patio areas while still improving overall storm readiness.
Colonial shutters feature a traditional side-hinged design that adds decorative curb appeal while still providing functional hurricane protection. These permanently mounted shutters are often selected by homeowners wanting to maintain a more traditional coastal appearance.
