While hurricanes rarely reach the Central Valley, Bakersfield is no stranger to powerful wind gusts and flying debris. Hurricane-rated systems tested to ASTM E1886 give homeowners peace of mind while also dissuading break-ins. For clients focused on curb appeal and energy savings, plantation shutters remain a timeless choice, reducing solar gain by up to 30 % on south-facing windows.
