Our
trademarked 6.8 accordion system has one of the
tightest blade stacks in the industry. For every
foot of opening our blades stack to one inch
(including centermates), making the 6.8 accordion
system almost undetectable on your home.The 6.8
system features an offset screw boss that allows for
easy lubrication of the main assembly screw and
isolates the hinge to prevent corrosion. This
ensures that the system will deploy properly, even
after years of trustworthy service.
Our assembly screws are 410 heat-treated
stainless steel and are plated with a special
coating called TC Ultracote. TC Ultracote increases
durability and provides more than three times the
lifespan of even the very best former screw and
coating assemblies.
The
6.8 track system is considerably heavier than our
competition and provides greater security, strength,
and increased longevity for your investment.
The 6.8's locking procedure is fast and simple.
While other shutter systems require up to a six-step
process, our requires only two easy steps-engage the
centers and deploy the locking device. No additional
locking rods or devices are required.
Available in four standard colors-White, Bronze,
Ivory, and Beige.
The 6.8 H.R. (High Rise) system shares the same
features as the standard 6.8 system but is
engineered specifically for high rise structures,
which are required to withstand much higher wind
loads.
The H.R. system is capable of spans up to 15'6"
in height and is tested to pressures beyond 300 psf. |
