ABOUT ROLLING SHUTTERS
Rolling Shutters can be retro-fitted to existing windows, or can preferably be built into new construction. They are normally make from interlocking aluminum slats (which may be foam filled) and are held in frames made from foam-filled aluminum extrusions. Rolling shutters provide excellent security, improve insulation against both heat and cold, and protect windows from weather and fading. They may be manually or electrically operated. Electric Rolling Shutters can have control from a central point, can incorporate timers, and can be linked to weather and light sensors for automated operation.
The leading rolling shutter manufacturers, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of rolling shutters, including online catalogs, colours and materials for rolling shutters, and care and maintenance of rolling shutters.
