So, you’re thinking about enhancing your home’s exterior.  What better way than to consider  LAS  HomeGard Shutters.  By now you’ve probably learned that LAS is the leader in storm protection products, but “we know” that our customers want a product that’s not only functional, but beautiful.

So what makes LAS shutters superior to other products?  All HomeGard Shutters can be approved by the Florida Building Code.  We believe that if it’s good enough to meet one of the most rigorous building code standards in the nation, then it’s good enough for our customers.  But we didn’t stop there.  We designed our aluminum shutters to have the look of wooden shutters but with a durability greater than even vinyl shutters.  Finally, when it comes to color, that’s where LAS excels.  We use a Powder Coating finish which is a technology that allows the paint to adhere to the aluminum to provide a more durable finish than the typical wet paint.   It’s a painting system that’s built to last.  This will ensure that the beautiful shutters you buy today will remain so for years to come.  For more information on the actual process, check out our 3 step, pre-treatment, powder coating and curing. 

We think that it is important to share our manufacturing processes with you so that you will understand why LASshutters are superior to other options.  And because we do all of our manufacturing, you can choose between a variety of color options and  even custom matching.  When it comes to shutters,  LAS HomeGard Shutters with Powder Coating technology give you the protection you need with the quality you expect and the color you want.

And don’t forget, at LAS we design, manufacture, install and warrant our shutters.  Simply said, “we know” shutters.  For more information about our shutters or to request a free estimate, click here.
