How do they work?

Accordion hurricane shutters in Tampa Bay may be installed over windows, sliding glass doors and balconies.

You can put your shutters to use in the following three simple steps:

  1. Slide both sides of shutter together, so they meet in the middle of the window
  2. Snap the shutters snugly into place
  3. Lock them

If you notice any resistance or tugging, your shutters may require a quick maintenance fix. This is simple.

  • Check for debris: rogue leaves or insect nests are common culprits!
  • Keep your shutters lubricated: twice a year, you should spray your shutters with a silicone lubricant.
  • Clean your shutters: only wash with warm soapy water. There’s no need to use chemicals to wash your shutters. Chemicals can damage them.
  • Use your shutters once a month: regular use is the best way to prevent a future problem.
