Accordion shutters are the most popular permanent system on the islands. The blades stack into a housing on each side of the opening and glide along a top and bottom track, so closing a wide slider takes seconds and one pair of hands.
Everything is fabricated from 6063-T6 extruded aluminum with stainless locking mechanisms rated for high-velocity wind zones. Nothing to store, nothing to lose, and nothing that needs a ladder when a system is 18 hours out.
