The Importance of Security Shutters
Security shutters are very important in order to keep your property protected from thefts and burglaries. It is important that you are using high-quality security shutters to secure your belongings. During times of uncertainty, it is a great time to get some security shutters to keep your family safe from the unknown. Security shutters are great because not only do they protect you from burglaries and theft, they also provide you hurricane protection. Security shutters are often deployed at homes, warehouses, storefronts, and schools to keep people out from inside the property. There are two main types of security shutters that I will be discussing in this blog post today; accordion security shutters and roll-down security shutters. I will compare and contrast the two providing the pros and cons of each type of security shutter.
Accordion Security Shutters
Accordion security shutters are great, they are made from .050 grade aluminum and are much cheaper than the roll-down shutters. The reason being is they are manually pulled together and locked. These are often used at gas stations, liquor stores, and schools to keep theft away from the property. The accordion security shutters are easily deployable only taking a few minutes to do and can leave you with peace of mind while you are away from the property.
Pros:
Provides maximum hurricane protection
Easy to deploy
Cheaper than rolling security shutters
Keeps burglars and thefts out
Cons:
Takes longer to deploy than rolling shutters

Rolling shutters are the best type of security shutters, they operate very easily with an electric motor that deploys with the touch of a button on a wireless remote.
