No more cold winter drafts and 24 hour air conditioning marathons.Heating and cooling your home uses more energy and drains more energy dollars than any other system in your home. Typically, 44% of your utility bill goes for heating and cooling. Heating and cooling systems together emit over a half billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, adding to global warming. They also generate about 24% of the nations sulphur dioxide and 12% of the nitrogen oxides, the chief ingredients in acid rain. This plus the worlds decreasing oil reservoirs increasing the price of energy make rolling shutters a first step for a better future. 

 

In the cold winter months the highest percent of heat loss occurs through your windows. A completely rolled down  rolling shutter gives highly efficient heat insulation by trapping a barrier of air between the rolling shutter and window. This air space is the most important aspect of insulation effectiveness.

 

Great energy savings can be achieved in the summer as well. Eliminating solar heat gain within the home or business is the main objective. In this case the exterior systems provide the greater savings because they completely stop the sun from passing through the window into the home or business. Still effective the interior system reflects the sun back outside and traps most of the gained heat between the window and shutter curtain keeping the interior of the building cooler. Reducing the operating hours of your air conditioning systems to keep the home at the desired temperature will save you money. It will also provide a much more comfortable climate and moderate temperature in all rooms and floors of your home or business.

 

 

A completely rolled down rolling window shutter gives you excellent added security. The special T-springs which attach the curtain to the axle work as a locking mechanism when completely rolled down.

This system makes it very difficult to push-up. The only possible way is to use extreme force while making a lot of noise. This standard system is built-in the Z11, Z4 and MEX. Other optional locking systems are available such as a bottom profile which is locked from the outside it has two handles and two sets of keys, this system is great for cottages. Interior systems can come with special push-in bars on the bottom profile making it impossible to push up the curtain from the outside. For businesses requiring maximum security we recommend our MEX rolling shutter system with extruded steel curtains.

 

 

With a completely rolled down rolling shutter you can be sure that nobody can see inside your home. Especially in the evening when the lights are on inside the home.

 

Shift workers or people who love sleeping in on weekend will not find a product which will eliminate 100% of the light like ours. Bedroom or movie room will be completely dark.

 

 

The insulating barrier of trapped air between the rolling shutter and window also reduce the noise created from outside sources. This will give our customers living near busy streets or airports a better nights sleep.

 

 

Exterior rolling shutters will protect your window against hail and other flying objects at high winds from potential damage. The extra durable aluminum or polymeric composite impact residencial hurricane curtain slats are recommended for optimal protection.
