Accordion Shutters
Used for windows, sliding-glass doors and balcony enclosures, accordion shutters provide theft security and storm protection in unpredictable coastal climates. While accordion designs are not as aesthetically pleasing as colonial, raised-panel and Bahama shutters, they are compact, strong and simple to use. In addition, many accordion window coverings are designed with locks to deter intruders.
Securing Your Home from a Hurricane
If you live in a coastal region with fierce storm activity, consider the following tips for preparing your home:
- Install impact- and wind-resistant shutters on every window opening.
- Repair loose shingles with asphalt/cement bond.
- Secure roof and wall connections with metal hurricane straps.
- Bolster weak garage-door joints.
- Install heavy-duty dead bolts and high-end hinges on all doors.
- Test all shutters, doors, braces and straps before storm season.
