Accordion storm shutters
Accordion shutters aluminum accordion storm shutters made to opening
Accordion shutters are mounted beside the window or door and fold out along tracks when a storm approaches — no panels to store, no ladders on the day. StormForge supplies complete aluminum accordion shutter systems and replacement parts to installers, dealers and brands.

How accordion shutters work
Interlocking blades hang from a top track and ride in a bottom track. When open, they stack at one or both sides of the opening; to close, the stack is pulled across and locked at a center mate (bi-parting) or end post. Because the shutter lives on the wall, deployment is fast — the main selling point versus hurricane panels.
