Accordion Shutters · Coastal Wilmington NC

Water-Facing Windows and Doors — Full Accordion System

American Hurricane Shutters (AHS Carolinas) installed accordion hurricane shutters on all water-facing windows and doors at this Wilmington coastal home. A site-specific design pressure analysis was performed for each opening, specifying 6063-T6 extruded aluminum accordion shutters with stainless steel locking mechanisms rated for New Hanover County wind zones.

The homeowner contacted AHS via email and received a response within the hour. An initial site visit followed within days, and a written estimate was provided on the spot. The shutters arrived ahead of the stated lead time, and the installation was completed smoothly and efficiently.

Accordion shutters are the most popular permanent hurricane protection system for coastal Wilmington properties — no panels to store, no hardware to lose, one-hand deployment in under 60 seconds.

“American Hurricane Shutters were great from start to finish. My initial contact was via email and they responded within an hour! I was wanting to get accordion shutters for my water facing windows and doors. They scheduled an initial meeting to get measurements and gave me the estimate on the spot. Installation was smooth and efficient even without us there. I have recommended them to five of my neighbors.”
