These notes cover ShuttersDirect.com. They do not describe other domains. The pages are files on a web server: HTML, a stylesheet, a small menu script, product photographs, and the text files that help search and automated readers. There is no account system and no comment form.

Advertising

This site does not use a display-advertising network. Pages do not load an advertising script, and there is no ads.txt file. If that ever changes, this page should be rewritten first. It is not the case for the pages published with this text.

Not advice. ShuttersDirect.com is an educational guide. It does not manufacture, sell, fabricate, install, or ship shutters, and it is not an engineer, installer, or building official. Whether a shutter is right for an opening, and whether it counts as wind or debris protection, depends on the product label, how it is attached, and the rules in force for that building. Read the maker’s instructions and check with the local building department before ordering or installing anything meant for wind or flying debris.
