Supernova Accordion Hurricane Shutter (High-Velocity)

The Most Cosmetically Appealing Hurricane Shutter

Introducing the lowest stacking shutter on the market period The Supernova Hurricane Shutter

We are happy to announce this addition to our accordion shutter lineup in 2014. The Supernova offers a wide range of benefits including a less intrusive appearance when installed on your home. We are now the only accordion shutter manufacturer in South Florida to offer THREE hurricane shutters to our customers.

The Supernova includes many different features that make it superior to the standard shutters on the market. Just some of the many features are listed below:

Hurricane Shutter Features:

Smooth Gliding Wheels	Closure Channels	Heavy Duty Construction	ESP Paint (Fade Resistant)
Rain Guards	Weather-Resistant Construction	Available Clear Blades	Multiple Colors Available
Nylon Clips	Fail-Safe Easy Lock	Side Angle	Additional turn-knob locks (optional)

What are smooth gliding wheels?

Stainless steel wheels that glide through the tracks of the accordion shutters easily. Smooth gliding wheels reduce friction and make opening your accordion shutters easier.

What do you mean by heavy-duty construction?

Constructed of heavy-gauge 0.50 extruded aluminum, SuperNova is built tough. SuperNova is one of the only accordion shutters on the market which has been approved for span heights over 160 inches.

What is ESP paint (fade-resistant)

Built to last, the SuperNova shutter is coated with ESP Paint. ESP Paint is electrically charged, powder coated paint that reduces the chance of fading and chipping over time.

What are rain guards?

Adds additional strength and provides protection from rust due, and support the rods of the accordion shutter to provide additional strength from impact.

Which parts are weather-resistant?

Built to battle with the elements, Supernova is made with;

Stainless steel housings, screws and locks.
Nylon rollers.
Rust-resistant screws.

What is a clear blade?

Clear blades are made from lexan panels, which is a blend of polycarbonate plastic (the same material that is used to make bulletproof glass.) Clear blades allow you to get light into your home or view outside your window without sacrificing strength and protection.

Which colors are available?

Selected to blend with most houses in South Florida, and conform with HOA guidelines. We offer white, ivory, beige, and bronze colors are available in ESP fade-resistant paint.

What are nylon clips?

Nylon clips are weather-resistant, easy to replace, clips that help hold back the shutter when not closed. Nylon clips are much easier and cheaper to replace when compared to other retention systems.

What is a fail-safe easy lock?

Fail-safe easy locks allow for a shutter to be unlocked without a key, and are typically used on windows on the second floor, sliders, and any window which you would prefer to close from the inside of your home.

What is a side angle

Side angles are an alternative to closure channels. We typically use side-angles only when closure channels are not an option, such as installations around stucco bands or uneven surfaces.

What are additional turn-knob locks?

Also known as fail-safe easy locks, additional turn-knob locks are available at an additional cost.

Our customers choose the Supernova accordion shutter due to its low profile design, available clear blades, and quality operation. If you are in the market for a shutter that is less noticeable when installed on your home then this is the right choice for you!

There are many reasons why the Supernova Hurricane Shutter is by far, our best-selling accordion shutter. For example, the closure channels eliminate the need for screws that often rust over time. It is also due to the fact that the Supernova is constructed of heavy-duty materials (0.50″ extruded aluminum) resulting in a stronger shutter that will last longer.

Unlike most other manufacturers of the SuperNova Accordion shutter, all of our SuperNova shutters are fitted with Rain Guards. Rain guards provide benefits such as;

Added strength to the rods that anchor the blades/panels to the frame.
Prevents water from coming behind the shutters, and also helps to prevent rust.
Acts as a first line of defense during an impact, lowering the chance of damage to the wheels of the shutter.

Accordion Shutter Closure Channels:

The closure channel picture illustrates the difference between a shutter with a closure channel installed and one without. These photos are actually from the same home! The inferior shutters were installed on the second floor, and the Assured Storm Protection shutters were installed on the first level.

An example of a closure channel with high quality workmanship, next to a closure channel with poor quality workmanship.

Notice how much of a difference it makes with the closure channel We take a huge amount of pride in our work as illustrated by this example. We encourage you to look around at hurricane shutters installed in your area. It is very common to see deterioration of the screws resulting in a reduction in both lifespan and protection.
