Abstract: A storm shutter system is provided for protecting windows from hurricane conditions, storm conditions, and/or the like. In certain example embodiments, a storm shutter system includes both opaque metal corrugated storm shutter panels and clear plastic corrugated storm shutter panels which together may make up the system. The system is designed so that the metal corrugated panels are installed exterior (or over) the clear plastic corrugated panels when the two types of panel are located adjacent one another in the system (i.e., the clear plastic panels are located between the building and the metal panels), thereby improving the strength and/or durability of the storm shutter system.
