Accordion Shutters | Pros & Cons

Hurricane protection is very important for homeowners in Florida. Hurricanes can be so unpredictable, so it is important you have storm shutters that you can deploy quickly in case of emergency. Hurricane storm panels are the traditional type of hurricane protection, but they take way too long to deploy since they are heavy and you have to take them down after every hurricane season. Accordion shutters are a very good option when it comes to hurricane protection.

Accordion shutters operate on a sliding rail system that allows the shutter to open and close with ease. These storm shutters deploy in seconds and don’t require you to store them like storm panels where you have to take them on and off every hurricane season. These accordion shutters lock together with your unique key and also make a good security shutter to keep thefts and vandalism away. Simply leave the accordions open and you will be able to see out your window and if you need hurricane protection or privacy, pull them shut.

Pros:

• Affordable Price compared to other types of hurricane protection (impact windows, rolling shutters)

• Easy to deploy

• Provide Maximum Protection

• Stay up year-round no need to use storage space in the garage or shed

Cons:

• Need to lubricate the wheels that the shutters slide on
