Serving the Charleston Lowcountry

Accordion shutters in Charleston.

When a storm is named in the Atlantic, Charleston homeowners don't want to be hauling plywood. Shade Coast installs Bertha high-velocity accordion shutters that unfold across windows and doors in minutes, lock tight against wind and debris, and fold back to the side jambs the moment the threat passes.

Storm protection, Charleston

The fastest way to batten down.

Accordion shutters are permanently mounted beside each opening, so they're always ready. Hinged aluminum blades ride on top and bottom tracks and pull closed like a folding screen — even large sliding glass doors and French doors close in moments. There's nothing to store, nothing to carry up a ladder, and nothing to find at the last minute when the forecast turns.

Shade Coast builds every system from high-quality aluminum with a durable electrostatic paint finish and a saltwater-rated locking system you can secure from inside or outside. Beyond hurricane season, accordion shutters add everyday security, knock down heat and glare, and quiet street noise — a real benefit on busy Charleston blocks and rental properties.

  • Bertha High-Velocity Impact Certified — engineered for coastal wind loads and wind-borne debris.
  • Four coastal colors — white, beige, ivory, and bronze to blend with any Lowcountry exterior.
  • Folds compactly — stacks neatly to the side jambs so it nearly disappears when open.
  • Residential & commercial — sized for windows, sliders, French doors, and storefronts alike.
