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.
