Accordion Shutters are manufactured by Sun Barrier Products, Inc. from T-6063 extruded aluminum with an electrostatically applied baked-on finish. Accordion Shutters are designed to be permanently installed on your home, so they can be closed and locked quickly when severe weather protection or security is needed. Unlike storm panels, there is nothing to store away. The Accordion interlocking blades fit into a top header and bottom sill, and glide easily on stainless steel wheel carriages with heavy-duty nylon wheels. When not in use, Accordions stack compactly at each side of the opening.
Hurricane and Security Protection
Accordion Shutters are tested and approved for Hurricane protection, including windload and large missile impact. They are also perfect for security, because of their quality construction, ease of operation, and locking system. Accordions can be installed on doors, windows and balconies and lanais. When protecting your home, enclosing the lanai is a more secure design than covering individual openings under the lanai, by preventing pressure building up under the roof of the lanai. Homeowners also have the convenience of storing all their patio furniture, grills, etc., inside the lanai.
Options
Accordion Shutters are also available with the option to add blades with clear Lexan windows to provide light and visibility when the shutters are closed.
