Product Overview

The strongest slat we make.

Each 63 mm HD Solid slat is formed from a single solid layer of extruded aluminum. That construction gives it our highest strength rating for deterring intruders, resisting forced-entry attempts, and standing up to extreme weather, while carrying wider and taller openings than our foam-filled slats.

Protection Ratings

Certified hurricane protection.

The 63 mm HD Solid single-wall extruded slat is hurricane-code approved when configured with end-retention and installed to the required specification.

Locks into the guide rails.

End-retention places a precision-engineered pin on both ends of every slat, locking the curtain into the guide rails so it cannot be pushed out of the tracks, even in the toughest conditions.

  • Wind pressure from high-wind and storm events
  • Hurricane forces and wind-borne debris
  • Break-in forces during forced-entry attempts

Frequently Asked Questions

63 mm HD Solid, answered.

The most common questions about 63 mm HD Solid extruded rolling shutters.

01What is a 63 mm HD Solid extruded rolling shutter?

The 63 mm HD Solid is Roll-A-Shield's heavy-duty single-wall extruded aluminum slat. Each slat is formed from a single solid layer of extruded aluminum, which makes it our strongest profile for security, forced-entry resistance, and large openings. It is built for windows, doors, patios, and storefronts that need maximum protection, and it can be configured with end-retention for hurricane-rated performance and spans up to 20 feet wide.

02What are the benefits of extruded slats vs. insulated slats?

Extruded slats are solid aluminum, so they are stronger and better suited to security and large or high-wind openings. Our foam-filled (insulated) slats are quieter and add more thermal and sound insulation, and they come vented for daylight control. The 63 mm HD Solid trades some of that insulation for maximum strength. If security, damage resistance, and hurricane protection are the priority, the extruded slat is the right choice. Our team helps you weigh the trade-offs.

03What applications are best suited for 63 mm HD Solid extruded slats?

The 63 mm HD Solid is built for the openings that need the most protection: large windows and patio doors, vacation properties left empty for stretches, retail storefronts that face smash-and-grab risk, and properties in high-wind or hurricane zones. It is also a strong choice for commercial buildings and any wide opening where a lighter slat would not carry the span.

04Are 63 mm HD Solid extruded slats insulated?

The extruded slat is a solid single-wall aluminum profile, so it does not have the foam core our insulated slats use. A closed aluminum shutter still helps block sun, heat, and noise before they reach the glass, and the bottom slat carries a weather seal. If maximum thermal and sound insulation is your main goal, our foam-filled slats are the better fit.

05Do 63 mm HD Solid extruded slats reduce heat and noise?

Yes, to a degree. A closed solid-aluminum shutter blocks direct sunlight before it hits the window and adds a physical barrier that dampens outside noise, which helps keep interiors cooler and quieter. For the highest heat and sound reduction, our foam-filled slats do more, but the HD Solid still delivers real comfort on top of its security and storm protection.

06Are 63 mm HD Solid extruded rolling shutters hurricane rated?

Yes. The 63 mm HD Solid single-wall extruded slat is hurricane-code approved (TDI, FBC HVHZ, FBC Non-HVHZ, and IBC/IRC) when it is configured with end-retention and installed to the required specification. The rating depends on the installation method, so our team confirms exactly what your opening needs. Not every slat type is hurricane rated. The extruded slat is the one built for it.

07How wide can 63 mm HD Solid extruded rolling shutters be?

A standard 63 mm HD Solid shutter builds up to about 12.3 feet (148 inches) wide. With end-retention, a single shutter can span up to 20 feet wide with every slat retained, or up to 15 feet with every other slat retained. The real maximum depends on the height and configuration of your opening, so a rep confirms the exact limit for your project.

08Are 63 mm HD Solid extruded rolling shutters available in vented versions?

No. The 63 mm HD Solid is a solid, non-vented profile for maximum privacy and security, so it does not have the light slits our foam-filled slats offer. If you want daylight or visibility through an extruded shutter, we make a separate perforated extruded slat with small holes that let light through even when closed. Ask our team which fits your project.

09What colors are available for 63 mm HD Solid extruded slats?

The 63 mm HD Solid is available in White, Beige, Bronze, Black, and Metallic, all at the same price. Finishes are durable and fade-resistant. Color availability can vary with current inventory, so a rep confirms the exact match on your quote.

10How long do 63 mm HD Solid extruded rolling shutters last?

Built from extruded aluminum, these shutters are made to last for decades with minimal maintenance. Aluminum resists rust and corrosion, so a well-installed shutter holds up to sun, wind, and daily use for years. Roll-A-Shield backs them with a 5-year warranty on shutter parts and motors, 2 years on electronic components, and 1 year on labor. See our warranty details for the full terms.
