generally operated either electrically or
manually from inside your building. |

How much protection do Shutters provide? |
|
|
Standard building codes require a product to
withstand 110 M.P.H. winds. The "newer
standard", commonly called ASCE-7-88, increases
the wind-load standard plus adds a positive and
negative wind loads test and a positive and
negative "cycling test" plus an "impact test".
The new standards are much more stringent and
expensive to satisfy but do provide a real
degree of protection.

What materials are used for
Rolling Shutters? |
|
|
Rolling Shutters are made of
many horizontal 1.5 to 2 inch durable insulating
slats that operate like a roll top deck. The
basic slat material options are PVC plastic,
rolled aluminum with insulation, and extruded
aluminum. Insulated rolled aluminum is tougher
than PVC for better wind and impact resistance.
Extruded aluminum is the
strongest, but also the heaviest. The slat ends
roll up into a long narrow housing that is
hidden under the roof overhang. For convenience
and security, open and close the shutters from
indoors.
