Accordion shutters in Carteret County.
The Crystal Coast sits square in the path of Atlantic hurricane season, and Florence proved how little warning "plenty of warning" can feel like. Shade Coast installs Bertha high-velocity accordion shutters across Carteret County — permanently mounted systems that pull closed over windows and doors in minutes, lock tight against wind and debris, and fold back to the jambs when the sky clears over Bogue Sound.

High-velocity impact certified to stand up to flying debris.

Glide them shut by hand — no ladders, no hardware, no plywood.
Saltwater
Lock System
Corrosion-rated locks made for life beside the Atlantic and the sound.
Always mounted, always ready.
Because accordion shutters live beside each opening full-time, storm prep stops being a project. Hinged aluminum blades travel on top and bottom tracks and draw closed like a folding screen — the big sliders on an Atlantic Beach oceanfront deck take moments, not hours. Nothing to haul out of storage, nothing to carry up a ladder on an elevated cottage, nothing to hunt for while the wind picks up.
Every system is built from high-quality aluminum with a durable electrostatic paint finish and a saltwater-rated locking system you can secure from inside or out — a real advantage for Pine Knoll Shores and Salter Path rental owners closing up from off-island. Outside of storm season, the same shutters lock down vacant weeks, tame heat and glare on west-facing glass, and hush the summer traffic along the beach road.
- 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 beach-house 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.
