Impact-rated board and batten shutters give Biloxi homes traditional vertical-board character with the strength to hold up through hurricane season. We handle precise measuring, custom fabrication in quarter-inch increments, and professional installation on every set we build. Along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, salt air, heavy rain, and wind pressure test your window openings year-round. You get storm protection that looks like it belongs on your house.
Board and batten shutters bring vertical boards joined by horizontal battens. The design reads as authentic on coastal cottages and raised Gulf Coast homes. Impact-rated versions carry that profile in fiberglass, aluminum, and PVC, hinged to close across your window openings and lock securely before a storm. Every panel in our exterior shutter line is custom-built to your exact opening in quarter-inch increments, so the fit is correct on the first installation.
Fiberglass handles Gulf Coast conditions well, holding its shape against salt air, moisture, and constant heat without warping or rot. Aluminum shutters answer a different question, delivering strong protection at a lighter weight that suits wide openings and second-story windows. Wood shutters remain an option if you want authentic grain and are prepared for regular maintenance. From precise measuring to final installation, our team builds one custom solution around your house rather than fitting you to a stock size.
Code-rated impact resistance that shields glass from flying debris and heavy rain
Durable materials chosen to resist salt air, moisture, and Gulf Coast heat
Professionally installed hardware so panels operate smoothly and lock without binding
Along Beach Boulevard and through the Point Cadet neighborhood, homes sit directly in the path of wind-driven weather off the water. Board and batten panels work well on these properties, covering front-facing windows and doors without hiding the architecture behind bulky tracks. Coastal cottages and raised homes in nearby Ocean Springs use them the same way, closing for storm protection and opening for everyday light. Every set is measured on site, because no two window frames on an older coastal property match exactly.
Restaurants, boutiques, and small offices along the coast choose these shutters for two benefits. They hold street presence during business hours and give reliable protection when hurricanes form offshore. The residential process applies without change, from first consultation through measuring and professional installation. We work with homeowners, builders, and property managers across Harrison and Jackson counties on projects of any size.
Start with the outcome you want. Storm protection, noise reduction, everyday security, and curb appeal each point toward a different specification. From New Orleans east through Biloxi to Mobile, the same weather patterns push most owners toward operable panels rather than fixed decoration. Our specialists walk you through board width, batten placement, hinge style and holdback hardware, and whether each opening needs one panel or a pair.
Material sets both durability and appearance, and fiberglass holds a painted finish through UV exposure while resisting corrosion in salt air. Aluminum keeps weight down on large window openings and takes a powder-coated finish that stays resistant to moisture. Wood shutters give you real grain and a deeper profile, with more maintenance in exchange. Collins and the team cover the pros and cons of each option so you can weigh durability, appearance, and budget against your specific needs.
Style: Choose single or paired panels, two-board or three-board layouts, and straight or Z-bar batten placement to match your home
Finish: Select from 40 standard colors or custom color matching to coordinate with your existing trim
Function: Decide between fixed panels for appearance and functional shutters that close, latch, and withstand high winds during hurricane season

Collins Terry works with property owners across the Mississippi Gulf Coast on both exterior and interior window treatments. That range covers exterior shutters and hardware, plantation shutters, blinds, shades, and drapery, so one conversation can address the whole house. For storm-rated projects, Collins explains what each product is tested to withstand and where it fits your property.
From the first consultation to final installation, you work with the same team. Collins measures on site, confirms the custom fit against your existing frames, and schedules installation once your panels are built. Salt air and hurricane season are constants here, so you get products chosen to hold up through both.
Fiberglass is the first recommendation for most properties here. It resists salt air corrosion and UV damage with minimal maintenance, and it holds a painted finish through years of Gulf Coast heat. Aluminum shutters are the second option, giving you storm-rated strength at a lighter weight that suits wide openings. Wood shutters look excellent on historic homes and still work along the coast. Salt air asks for sealed finishes and regular upkeep to hold off moisture and rot. Collins covers the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
Impact-rated board and batten shutters are hinged, operable panels manufactured by Atlantic Shutter Systems, code-rated and tested to withstand high-intensity storm conditions. Decorative panels mount flat against the siding and never move, adding character without storm function. If curb appeal is the only goal, decorative works. If you are investing in protection against storm damage, specify the impact-rated version. You also get the convenience of opening the panels once the weather clears. Both are custom-built from the same quality materials as the rest of our exterior shutter lineup.
Yes. Board and batten shutters are built to your specification, with two-board, three-board, and wider layouts available, plus straight or Z-bar batten placement. Panels come in widths from 12″ to 24″ and lengths from 30″ to 84″ in ¼” increments. That is how we handle frames that have shifted over the years. Your specialist evaluates the opening width, the trim you already have, and whether the window faces the street before recommending a layout. That flexibility is why these shutters work across a whole house rather than one elevation.
They work best on street-facing windows, front elevations, porch openings, and any opening you want to close quickly before strong winds arrive. Living rooms and kitchens gain useful daylight control when the panels sit partly open. Bedrooms are the one place to think twice, because solid board construction blocks light completely once closed and offers no adjustable louvers. Pairing them with an interior treatment solves that. We will help you settle on the right configuration for each room, and our project gallery shows how the panels look installed.
Yes, and it is a common combination along the coast. Many owners run impact-rated panels outside for storm protection. Inside, plantation shutters, cellular shades, or solar shades handle daily light control and energy efficiency. Some pair board and batten on the front elevation with Bahama shutters on side windows for shade. Our team coordinates colors, finishes, and styles across both so the exterior reads as one design. Reach out for pairing guidance on your property.
Timelines depend on material and finish. Composite and vinyl typically run two to three weeks. Painted or stained wood runs four to six weeks, since finishing adds time to the build. Impact-rated hurricane shutters in fiberglass and aluminum vary by configuration and shutter hardware, and we confirm the exact window during consultation. The process runs from on-site measuring to custom fabrication to installation, with a final inspection before the job closes. You can review installation guides and color charts in our Resource Center, and contact us for a project-specific timeline.
Yes. Restaurants, boutiques, offices, and coastal hospitality properties use them for the same reasons homes do. We install throughout Gulfport, Ocean Springs, and Long Beach as often as in the primary market. Commercial work gets the same measuring standard, the same materials, and the same professional installation as residential. We schedule around your business hours to keep disruption down, including early-morning and off-season work. Our full service area covers Harrison and Jackson counties. Contact us for a commercial quote.
Contact the Biloxi team for a free consultation. Collins comes to your property, reviews each window opening, and walks you through the options. That includes impact-rated board and batten shutters, storm panels, and hurricane screens, plus how they compare with impact windows and laminated glass. From there you get accurate measurements, material and finish selection, and a clear quote with no pressure. One team handles consultation, measuring, fabrication scheduling, and installation. We look forward to hearing about your project.
