Accordion Shutters From Gulf Atlantic Industries

Protect your home: Let us install the most secure hurricane protection available: Accordion Shutters are especially effective for sliding patio doors or balcony doors, and offer maximum security and storm protection at less cost than Roll Shutters.

The top track of the shutter is parallel to the floor and provides the track into which the self mating extruded aluminum vertical blades glide from side to side on stainless steel and nylon roller carriages. The bottom track of the shutter provides a groove into which the pins on the bottom of the vertical slats are secured.

Easy to Store: When fully opened, the shutter panels stack in an area equivalent to approximately one inch for every linear foot of shutter (i.e. a 10 foot shutter would require about 10 inches of stack space at one end if designed as a single unit, or 5 inches of stack space at each end if designed to open it the center). The accordion shutter is manually operated, which means that you must have access to the shutter so you can open or close it by hand. This presents no obstacle if the shutter is mounted in front of glass doors or windows on the first floor or accessible from a balcony. But if mounted over an inaccessible window, operation would require the window to be opened and the screen removed in order to open or close the shutter.

Accordion shutters can be of any width. Their only restriction is in height, which is determined by elevation (first floor, twentieth floor, etc.).


The accordion shutter can be designed to open or close as one unit, moving left to right or right to left. For larger areas it can have a center opening, so that half the shutter would move to the right and the other half to the left.

Accordion shutters are less expensive than roll down shutters. Accordion shutters meet South Florida Building Code and Dade County Approved Materials.
