Accordion Shutters

Accordion Shutters are permanently installed for year round protection. They fold back compactly similar to a louvered door and are one or two piece shutters. They are installed beside windows and doors, balconies, and large patio openings. Accordion shutters are convenient, and easily closed within minutes. They lock from the inside or outside for increased security and protection. Accordion shutters are considered one of the strongest shutters available. These Accordion Shutters have been tested to meet or exceed the most stringent requirements for Hurricane Shutters in the industry, such as:

• Florida Building Code (FBC) Non HVMZ
• Florida Building Code (FBC) HVMZ Dade and Broward
• International Building Code (IBC)
• International Residential Code (IRC)
• Texas Department of Insurance (TDI)
• Miami-Dade County

Removable panels are made of a variety of materials. The three main materials are made of steel, aluminum or clear polycarbonate. Panels are attached with anchors top and bottom or by tracks. Panel tracks make assembly and installation faster and easier. Storm panels are considered one of the most economical choices for hurricane and storm protection. They offer substantial protection at a lower cost of other storm protection products. Clear polycarbonate panels are the most expensive of the three types. Aluminum panels are lighter than steel panels. Panels are stackable and require a dry place for storage, usually a garage or carport. For assembly, do a dry run early to see how long and difficult the process is for you. This will also give you the opportunity to fix something before it's too late.

Safety & Security Films

When violent acts, natural disasters, vandalism or accidents shatter your building's windows, flying glass can be responsible for most of the damage, injuries and deaths that occur. And the truth is, much of the destruction resulting from these lethal shards can be controlled—even prevented—in corporate and retail buildings, restaurants, hotels, and homes, with LLumar Magnum safety and security films. Protect retail, commercial and residential buildings -- any windowed structure -- from the dangers of flying glass due to earthquake, windstorms, terrorist acts, vandalism, theft, and accidents. Easily installed to the interior of new or existing glass, the film forms an almost invisible shield that holds glass shards intact when a pane breaks. Various levels of protection are available to address different hazard levels. LLumar films are available in reflective and non-reflective finishes and can be clear, colored, or patterned to blend with various design schemes. Depending on the film selected, LLumar can cut from 12 to 93 percent of incoming light, eliminate 99% of the harmful ultraviolet radiation to protect fabrics and finishes, block 92% of glare and cut up to 76% of solar heat gain through the glass.
