ACCORDION
HURRICANE SHUTTERS
These one-
or two-piece hurricane shutters are housed
beside the windows or doors when not in use. They unfold
accordion-style to cover and protect during a storm.
PROS
--
Permanently affixed beside the windows and don't require any
extra storage space.
--
Can easily be made storm-ready by one person.
--
Some models can be locked with a key and may be used as a theft
deterrent.
CONS
--
Can look bulky and out-of-place on some houses. Consider the
aesthetics before having them installed.
--
Glide on wheels, and have the potential to break more easily
than some of the other systems.
