What Are Roll Down Security Shutters
Rolling security shutters consist of slats that open and close by rolling up and down on vertical tracks. When closed and secured the shutters create a secure, impact resistant barrier over windows, doors, and other openings. They can be used on residential, commercial, and industrial properties to prevent break-ins, deter criminals, and reduce security threats.
These shutters are made from impact resistant materials, such as metal and aluminum. They completely cover vulnerable openings, such as doors and windows, either from the interior or exterior of the opening. As a result, they both deter and prevent intruders from gaining access to your property.
Types of Rolling Security Shutters
Top rolling shutter options for Florida homes include:
- Exterior Rolling Security Shutters – these shutters are installed over the exterior of a window, door, or other opening to a property. The tracks, housing box, slats are all on the exterior. Because they are on the exterior they help to prevent damage to the windows, doors, etc. from intruders, severe weather, and other accidental damage. They also prevent vandalism as your glass openings are hidden and unaccessible.
- Interior Security Shutters – these shutters are installed on the interior side of a window, door, or other opening to a property. While this helps
- Electric (Automatic) Rolling Security Shutters – interior and exterior rolling shutters are available in electric versions. These are powered by electric or solar motors and have a power override system. They can be hardwired into your building to work with a switch. Alternatively, you can control them with a remote or smartphone app. Automatic rolling security shutters are a great choice if you have many shutters to open and close frequently (such as daily).
- Manual Rolling Security Shutters – manual security shutters are rolled up and down by a manual crank, strap, or other manual mechanism. They have a lower cost than electric versions, but they are not as convenient.
