What Are Extruded Slats?

What Makes Extruded Slats Different?

Extruded slats are formed from solid aluminum with thick, durable walls, built to deliver maximum security and storm protection. Unlike insulated (foam-filled) shutters, extruded slats use heavy aluminum walls designed to withstand impacts, forced-entry attempts, and extreme weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Extruded Rolling Shutter FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about extruded rolling shutters.

Are extruded rolling shutters hurricane-rated?

Yes. Roll-A-Shield's 63mm HD Solid and 63mm HD Perforated extruded rolling shutters are available in hurricane-rated configurations with end-retention systems, providing strong protection against high winds and flying debris in storm-prone areas.

What is the difference between 63mm HD Solid and 63mm HD Perforated slats?

The 63mm HD Solid slat provides full privacy and maximum security, while the 63mm HD Perforated slat allows light, airflow, and outward visibility without sacrificing strength. Both are manufactured from heavy-duty extruded aluminum.

Which extruded slat offers the most security?

The 63mm HD Solid extruded slat offers the highest level of security because its solid aluminum profile provides complete coverage with no perforations, making it ideal for residences, storefronts, and high-security openings.

Can extruded rolling shutters be motorized?

Yes. Both extruded profiles can be equipped with Gaposa or Somfy tubular motors and integrated with remote controls, smart-home systems, and smartphone operation for convenient everyday use.

Are end-retention systems available?

Yes. Both 63mm HD Solid and 63mm HD Perforated shutters are available with end-retention systems on openings up to 20 feet wide, which lock the curtain securely within the guide rails during high winds and attempted forced entry.

What colors are available?

Extruded rolling shutters are available in five durable powder-coated finishes: White, Beige, Bronze, Black, and Metallic, so they complement both residential and commercial properties.

How wide can extruded rolling shutters be?

Both 63mm HD Solid and 63mm HD Perforated shutters can span openings up to approximately 20 feet wide and cover areas up to 120.5 square feet, making them suitable for large residential and commercial openings.

Are extruded rolling shutters suitable for storefronts?

Absolutely. Their heavy-duty aluminum construction, available end-retention systems, and motorized operation make them an excellent solution for retail stores, restaurants, offices, and other commercial properties.

Are extruded rolling shutters good for residential properties?

Yes. Extruded rolling shutters are popular for luxury homes, vacation properties, and primary residences because they provide enhanced security, storm protection, privacy, and long-lasting durability.

Do perforated rolling shutters provide ventilation?

Yes. The 63mm HD Perforated slat allows airflow and outward visibility while the shutter is closed, making it an excellent choice for storefronts and properties that benefit from ventilation and partial visibility.

How long do extruded aluminum rolling shutters last?

Extruded aluminum rolling shutters are built for decades of reliable performance. Their corrosion-resistant aluminum construction and durable powder-coated finishes withstand daily use and harsh weather with minimal maintenance, and they are backed by a 5-year warranty on shutter parts and motors.

Why choose extruded rolling shutters over insulated shutters?

Extruded rolling shutters are built from heavy-duty aluminum, offering superior impact resistance, enhanced security, and hurricane-rated options. Insulated (foam-filled) shutters prioritize thermal insulation and noise reduction, so extruded shutters are the preferred choice when maximum strength and protection are the primary goals.
