Accordion
Hurricane Shutters
Accordion shutters are Florida's best-selling permanent storm shutter for one simple reason: they're the fastest, easiest, and most affordable HVHZ-rated permanent shutter you can put on a home. Side-mounted housings hold the folded shutter slats discreetly when retracted; when a storm is coming, you simply unfold them across the opening and lock with a single key. VIP installs accordion shutters across all of Central Florida.

Why Accordion
Why 6 Out of 10 Florida Homeowners Choose Accordion Shutters
Accordion shutters check every box: they're permanently mounted (so there's no panel storage hassle), they deploy in under 60 seconds per opening (no ladder, no help needed), they cost about half what motorized roll-downs cost, and they're the fastest shutter to inspect and permit in Florida.
They're especially popular for protecting sliding glass doors, lanais, and back-of-house openings — the places where panels are awkward and where roll-downs feel like overkill. Most Florida families do accordions on rear sliders and side windows, then upgrade the front of the house to roll-downs or Bahama shutters for curb appeal.
Every accordion shutter we install passes the Florida HVHZ Large Missile Test (TAS 201/202/203), comes with a lifetime transferable product warranty, and includes the OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form your insurance carrier needs to apply your discount.
