Accordion Shutters vs. Roll-Up Shutters
Introduction
Living in Florida, there are hurricane disasters that citizens must take into consideration when finding the best protection for their property. Two popular techniques that people use to protect their homes are accordion shutters and rolling shutters. We are well in through the hurricane season for this 2021 year but nonetheless, homeowners must stay prepared year-round. The most common way people secure their homes is with hurricane storm panels. Hurricane storm panels are very time-consuming and can also potentially put you in danger if not handled with the proper equipment and techniques. Stop putting your children to work with the storm panels and upgrade to something like the accordion shutters or roll downs.
Accordion Shutters
The Accordion Shutters are designed for maximum security and protection from Hurricanes using a manual open and close system. These types of shutters are one of the most affordable whilst keeping high-level protection from high winds and heavy rains.
When the accordion shutters are not in use, the shutters are slid to the side and locked in place so that you have full visibility out of each window and door. No more need to stack your hurricane storm panels in the garage where it takes up room that you can be used for other storage.
The big difference between the two is the accordion shutters manually slide horizontally whereas, the roll-down shutters can either be pulled down manually, hand-cranked or electronically motorized with the push of a button operating up to four windows at a time. After the accordion shutters are installed, it is not very time-consuming to pull together the shutters closed and lock it. The biggest takeaway from the accordion shutters is the affordability and ease of use.

Roll-Up Shutters
The Roll-Up shutters are very similar to the accordion shutters in that they provide excellent protection with little work. At Johnson Aluminum Products the rolling shutters are offered in a manual pull-down option, hand crank, or fully electric motorized with one single push of a remote button operating up to four windows at the same time.
All aluminum components of our roll-up shutters are fabricated from 6063 T-6 extruded aluminum alloy and designed to the absolute highest standards in the industry.
The price of the roll-up shutters is more expensive but you also get the ease of use using a remote that controls it. You can operate the roll-up shutters from inside or outside the building using the remote, and can also be used to provide shade from direct sunlight. In the case there is no electricity in your home, you can hand crank the shutters.

Conclusion
Both types of shutters are great options and provide top notch security for your home or property.
