The 3 Quickest Deploying Shutters

Hurricanes can cause panic, in small time window scenarios, it is ideal to have hurricane shutters that deploy in a quick manner. By far the most time-consuming way to deploy shutters is using plywood boards or hurricane storm panels. Below I will be discussing the three hurricane shutters with the quickest deployment and maximum protection.

3. Accordion Shutters

The first shutter on our list is the accordion shutter. Accordion shutters are very fast to deploy opening and closing on a rail system and locking with a key. These aluminum shutters are very protective and quick to deploy. They are our most popular shutter and are a more economic way to protect your property. Accordion shutters can be installed on windows, doors, patio openings, and garages. Johnson Aluminum Products use .050 aluminum for the accordions. To deploy your whole house, it will take about 20 minutes to slide them shut on the rail and lock using the set of keys that you are provided.

2. Bahama Shutters/Colonial Shutters

The second quickest way to deploy shutters is to use Bahamas and colonials. Bahama shutters close using a top-hinge design with ease providing an aesthetic look as well as maximum protection. Colonial shutters close like a book and lock together with ease providing privacy and maximum protection. It takes about 10 minutes to deploy these shutters all-around your property. Since they aren’t on a rail system, they close a little bit easier than the accordion shutters.

1. Roll-Up Shutters

By far the easiest and quickest way to secure your property is by using the roll-up shutter method. With the touch of a button, you can easily deploy our roll-up shutters. This is the most expensive option but can be deployed from inside or outside your house, the remote will reach your shutter and you can lay on your couch at peace knowing your property is protected. Deploying all of your roll-ups will take seconds and can operate up to four windows at the same time. Johnson Aluminum Products offers a hand crank option just in case the power is out you can crank them up/down with ease.
