Protect what matters with custom rolling security shutters.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Rolling Security Shutters?
More than just protection, security shutters for windows and doors improve comfort, energy efficiency, and property value. Here is what sets them apart from other security and window-covering solutions.
Security & Break-In Deterrence
Commercial-grade aluminum slats lock into reinforced guide rails on both sides, eliminating pry points. The visible presence of shutters deters most burglars before they ever try, and many homeowners report insurance premium reductions after installation.
Storm & Weather Defense
Built for extreme conditions, our shutters protect against high winds, flying debris, and harsh storms. Motorized models let you secure your entire property in just minutes, and manual cranks work even when the power is out.
Energy Efficiency & Insulation
Foam-filled aluminum slats create an insulating air pocket between the shutter and your window. That extra layer keeps heat out in summer, holds warmth in winter, and helps lower heating and cooling bills year-round.
Noise Reduction
Live near a busy street, an airport, or noisy neighbors? Aluminum slats and the trapped air pocket together act as a sound barrier, cutting down on outside noise so your home feels noticeably quieter inside.
UV Protection
Protect interiors from sun damage. When fully closed, our rolling shutters block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, helping safeguard furniture, hardwood floors, and artwork. Adjust the slats to let in filtered daylight while still blocking UV.
Privacy & Light Control
Adjust your shutters for full privacy and total blackout, or partially open them for filtered daylight. Ideal for bedrooms, home theaters, shift workers, and street-facing windows where curtains alone cannot keep out heat.
Residential & Commercial
Residential and commercial rolling security shutters.
Custom-built for windows, doors, storefronts, and enclosures. Engineered for strong protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.
Residential Rolling Security Shutters
Custom rolling security shutters for windows, doors, and patio enclosures. We protect every entry point of your home with shutters made to the exact size of your opening, with eight color options to complement your exterior. Interior security shutters are also available where exterior mounting is not practical. If your patio enclosure is more about shade and bugs than break-in protection, see our motorized retractable patio screens instead.
Commercial & Storefront Rolling Security Shutters
Commercial security shutters and roll down security doors built for businesses. Protect assets, deter theft, and keep operations running. Perforated slat options preserve customer visibility into retail displays even when shutters are closed.
How Rolling Security Shutters Work
Strong when you need it. Gone when you don’t.
Interlocking aluminum slats coil around a tube housed above your window or door. When you need them, the slats glide down through guide rails and form a flush, solid barrier. When you don’t, the entire shutter rolls up and hides away.
Motorized Operation
Press a button. Done.
Most homes and businesses choose motorized shutters. A remote or wall switch opens or closes them in seconds, and a manual override means you can still operate them in a power outage, so you are never locked in or out.
Manual Operation
Crank, tape drive, or strap.
Manual shutters are perfect for smaller openings or budget-conscious projects. Crank handle, tape drive, or pull-down strap with a built-in lock, all powered by the same heavy-duty slats and guide rails as our motorized units.
Smart Home Integration
Schedule, automate, or voice-control.
Connect motorized shutters to your smart home for app control, schedules, and automation. Set them to close at sunset for added security and open at sunrise to let in the morning light.

Installation Options
Rolling security shutters. Built to fit your building.
Rolling shutters can be fitted on just about any building, new or existing. Our nationwide dealer network handles professional installation, or experienced contractors can self-install using our comprehensive specifications.
Retrofit (Surface Mount)
The go-to installation method for existing buildings. The housing box and guide rails mount directly to the exterior wall surface above and beside the opening. No structural changes required.
In-Soffit Installation
The housing box is tucked away inside the roof soffit or overhang. The shutter appears to come from inside the building rather than from an external box, giving the cleanest exterior look.
In-Wall (Recessed) Installation
The housing box and guide rails integrate into the wall cavity during construction or major renovation. The most seamless look, and ideal for new builds where aesthetics really matter.

Compare
Rolling security shutters vs. other security solutions.
Choosing the right security solution comes down to protection level, looks, convenience, and budget. Here is how rolling shutters stack up against the most popular alternatives.
vs. Security Bars & Grilles
Bars and grilles are fixed in place, blocking your view and posing fire-exit risks.
Rolling shutters can be completely retracted when not needed, ensuring emergency exits remain accessible from inside.
vs. Accordion Shutters
Accordion shutters fold to the side, requiring stacking space and visible hardware.
Rolling shutters coil up above the opening into a compact box, saving wall space, and they support remote and smart-home control most accordions cannot.
vs. Security Film
Window film reinforces glass, but cannot stop a determined intruder through a broken frame.
Rolling shutters provide a solid physical barrier covering the entire opening, plus insulation, noise reduction, and privacy benefits film cannot match.
vs. Storm Panels
Storm panels must be installed manually before each storm and stored when not in use.
Rolling shutters are a permanent fixture deployed in seconds, with the convenience alone making them worthwhile in hurricane-prone areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Get answers to the most common questions about rolling security shutters.
01What are rolling security shutters?
Rolling security shutters are aluminum barriers that roll down over windows, doors, and storefronts to keep out intruders, protect against storms, block UV rays, and reduce noise. When not in use, they coil up neatly into a compact housing box above the opening. They are available in motorized and manual versions and work for both homes and businesses.
02How much do rolling security shutters cost?
Cost varies based on opening size, motorized or manual operation, slat profile, and installation method. A standard window shutter typically ranges from $950 to $2,000 installed. For a detailed breakdown, see our pricing guide. We offer free, no-obligation quotes for every project.
03Are rolling security shutters hurricane-rated?
Yes. Our heavy-duty 63mm extruded rolling shutters are rigorously tested and certified for hurricane protection. They provide reliable wind and impact resistance, making them well suited for properties in hurricane-prone areas.
04Can rolling security shutters be installed on existing buildings?
Yes. The most common method is retrofit (surface mount), which works on nearly any existing building without structural changes. The housing box and guide rails attach directly to the exterior wall. We also offer in-soffit and in-wall options for renovation projects.
05Do rolling security shutters increase home value?
Yes. Security shutters are considered a permanent home improvement that boosts property value. They are especially sought after in hurricane-prone or higher-crime areas and can help lower homeowners insurance premiums. Their energy efficiency also leads to ongoing utility savings.
06How long do rolling security shutters last?
With normal care, quality rolling security shutters last 15 to 25+ years. Aluminum construction resists corrosion, and the powder-coated finish prevents fading and weather damage. Motorized parts may need occasional service, but the shutters themselves are built for years of daily use. See our warranty details for full coverage.
07What is the difference between rolling shutters and accordion shutters?
Rolling shutters coil up above the opening into a compact box, while accordion shutters fold off to the side. Rolling shutters look cleaner when retracted, can be motorized for remote control, and do not take up wall space next to the opening. Accordion shutters are typically more budget-friendly but must be deployed manually and require visible stacking space.
08Can I control rolling security shutters with my phone?
Yes. Our motorized rolling shutters integrate with smart home systems including Somfy myLink, RollApp by Gaposa, Bond Bridge, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Open, close, and schedule your shutters from your smartphone or tablet, whether you are home or away.
09Do rolling shutters block all light?
When fully closed, rolling shutters provide near-complete blackout. Some models have small light slits between the slats that let in ambient light. For total darkness, our shutters can be configured to minimize light gaps. You can also partially open the shutters to let in just the right amount of daylight.
10Are rolling security shutters fireproof?
Aluminum itself does not burn and has a melting point around 1,220°F (660°C), but rolling shutters are not officially classified as fire-rated assemblies. The aluminum build provides significant protection against flying embers and radiant heat, which is a notable advantage in wildfire-prone areas.
