Most accordion shutters are tested and made to exceed most building code regulations in all of the states.
Accordion shutters help lower costs, while still providing more overage per blade. You can do things like enclose an entire balcony with one shutter or protect patios from heavy rain.
Usually made with high quality extruded aluminum and stainless steel parts, accordion shutters can provide the ultimate protection.
Accordion hurricane shutters stay permanently installed all year round, for full protection from all the seasons. When they are not needed, you can just fold them back into a compact position.
They can also be locked from the inside or outside for increased security and protection.
Another bonus about accordion hurricane shutters is the fact that they can be assembled and installed quickly with very little hassle.
Cleaning Accordion Storm Shutters
This is one of the best aspects of this type of storm shutter. Accordion shutters only need to be cleaned and lubricated once a year and that is the only maintenance required.
Installing Accordion Storm Shutters
To install this type of shutter, it only takes a few minutes, and a whole house can be done in just a few hours.
Usually installation consists of putting together the frame, securing it in place around the designated area, and then finally you slip the shutters into the track.
That is of course for installation around a standard window. If you do a more complicated area like a patio or a different type of enclosure, it will take more time and expertise.
