Let the Breeze In with Roll-Down Shutters

Roll-down shutters provide a convenient way to control light while embracing fresh air. With an easy up-and-down operation, roll-down shutters feature adjustable slats that facilitate air circulation when open and block light when closed.

Roll-down shutters consist of horizontal louvre slats connected to a bottom rail. The slats roll up onto a drum or header, similar to a roll-up garage door. A strap, crank or motor raises and lowers the shutter. Partially open roll-down shutters catch passing breezes while blocking direct sunlight.

Benefits of Airy Roll-Down Shutters

How do roll-down shutters allow you to welcome in fresh air?

Indoor Outdoor Connection

Let pleasant breezes circulate while shut:

• Channel prevailing winds throughout home
• Promote cross-ventilation between rooms
• Allow airflow day or night when open

Sun Control

Adjustable slats filter bright light but allow air:

• Open mid-way to block glare but not breeze
• Closed fully for darkness with windows open

Weather Shielding

Roll down and shut to seal windows in rain:

• Interlocking slats block wind-driven precipitation
• Close fully to secure windows in storms

Garage Integration

Roll-ups act as weatherproof barriers:

• Transition garage to breezeway
• Protect openings from elements
• Roll up fully to disappear out of sight

With just the roll of a strap or turn of a crank, roll-down shutters provide flexible sunlight, ventilation and visibility control.
