Accordion Shutters Design
The Accordion Shutter is a durable shutter that moves horizontally between an upper and lower track, with interlocking aluminum blades making up the shutter’s protective wall. Covering large spans, these shutters can be folded away for an unobstructed view. Also for larger areas, there can be a center opening, allowing half of the shutter to move towards the left. From the inside or out, these shutters can be closed, locked, and secured, keeping your belongings safe.Your home or business are structures that are well thought out when it comes to layout, color, and more. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that our accordion style shutters can match with many different types of homes so that they do not stick out too much.

How to Measure
Procedure
- For windows, horizontally measure from one inside edge of the recess for the window to the opposite side. Our website will add the appropriate amount of overlap onto the wall. To vertically measure, begin at the top from the edge of the recess to the top of the window sill, we will also add necessary overlap. To determine the proper build out (distance shutters are mounted from the surface of the wall) this build out should be greater than the sill projection and greater than 3 inches from the glass surface, whichever is more. We have buildout from 0 to 3 inches.
- For Doors, horizontally measure from one inside edge of the opening to the parallel inside edge, vertically measure from the inside edge of the top to the floor. Our site will add the appropriate amount of overlap for the type of installation that you select to the panels we ship. Helpful Hint: Our PDF is set up to note the width first, then the height.
