About this asset

Designed for storm protection, this bi-parting accordion hurricane shutter Revit family features stacked folding panels set within head and sill tracks. The assembly consists of top head tracks and bottom sill guide channels framing a rectangular clear opening. Vertically pleated shutter slats fold accordion-style to both the left and right jamb sides, representing an open-stacked configuration that leaves the central window or glazing opening clear. Each folding stack exhibits distinct vertical panel facets with angular profile folds, creating an authentic storm shutter aesthetic. The continuous horizontal mounting tracks project slightly past the perimeter jamb line to facilitate exterior surface mounting directly onto exterior facades or masonry surrounds.

The download is a 410 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this component directly into your Revit project environment to outfit exterior facade openings with code-compliant coastal weather protection. Position the family along exterior wall surfaces or window bucks, adjusting reference planes and instance properties for sill height, clearance offsets, and track attachments. Assign coordinated architectural metal finishes within the project material browser to generate accurate elevation linework, sectional profiles, and textured presentation renders.

Ideal for coastal residences, beachfront villas, multi-family condominiums, and commercial properties situated in designated high-velocity hurricane zones. The shutter assembly pairs cleanly with punch windows, glazed sliding patio doors, and curtain wall expanses requiring storm barrier mitigation. Professionals searching for folding storm shutters, impact window protection, exterior accordion louvres, and hurricane shutters will find this component well suited for technical facade documentation, permit sets, and exterior rendering elevations.
