What is the difference between 40mm, 55mm and 63mm roll down shutters?
The number refers to the shutter slat size. 55mm spans the widest openings, up to 286.5 inches, and carries the highest pressure ratings, up to 200 PSF. 63mm is a single wall shutter for openings up to 241.5 inches. 40mm is a double wall shutter for openings up to 192 inches. The pressure rating goes down as the opening gets wider, so the maximum width and the maximum rating do not apply to the same opening. We recommend the right size for each opening in your free estimate.
