ROLL UP SHUTTERS

ROLL UP SHUTTERS are the most convenient and easiest to use of all hurricane shutters.  They provide effortless motorized or manual operation.  This type of shutter is permanently installed and rolls up into a box above the opening when not in use.  The average preparation time is as low as a few minutes for an entire house.

ROLL UP SHUTTER HISTORY

Roll up shutters were developed by the Europeans in the early 1900’s. Today, they are the most popular type of shutter throughout European countries; however, they are not used there for hurricane protection.  In Europe they are used on a daily basis for energy savings, security, privacy, or simply to keep the light out of the house in the middle of the day so they can take a nap at siesta time!
