6.8 Accordion Systems

Most accordion shutters on the market today are constructed in a way that does not allow the stainless steel screws (the main structural component that holds the shutter in its tracks), to be lubricated.  As a result, the stainless steel screws corrode the aluminum shutter over time, which subsequently compromises the operation and performance of the shutter.  That’s why our Eyewall Armor^® 6.8 Accordion Shutters were designed in a way that easily permits the lubrication of the assembly screws, even by a homeowner.  This ensures your accordions will operate correctly when you need them most, and perform like new for many years to come. 

You’ll be pleased to find that Eyewall Armor 6.8 Accordion Shutters are the tightest-stacking shutters on the market today, and virtually undetectable in your home.  They also offer a wide array of benefits, including:

• Long-lasting performance.
• Corrosion-resistant.
• Easy maintenance and care.
• Less obtrusive than any other accordion system.
• Designed to cover almost any type of opening.
• Fast and simple locking.
• No additional locking rods required.
• Available in white, bronze, ivory and beige.

H.R. Accordion Systems

The Eyewall Armor 6.8 High-Rise (H.R) Accordion System shares the same features as our standard 6.8 Accordion System.  However, the 6.8 High-Rise (H.R) Accordion System is engineered specifically for high-rise, high-performance structures requiring much higher wind loads.  The H.R. System is capable of spans up to 15’ 6” in height, and tested to pressures beyond 300 psf (wind loads which translates to wind speeds in excess of 300 mph.

Both the 6.8 and Hi-Rise Accordion system are available in white, bronze, ivory and beige.
