Rolling shutters improve the security, energy efficiency, comfort and privacy of your home or business.  They are recognized by law enforcement agencies as a major deterrent to crime.  They provide total privacy when rolled down.  Foam core slats stop 99% of radiant heat from entering your home or business, and prevent heat loss during the winter months, reducing the cost and energy used for heating and cooling.

A rolling shutter consists of foam-filled slats contained in a housing that mounts above your windows, doors or patios.  The slats gently slide within side rails to close down securely.  Rolling shutters are mounted on the outside, but are operated from the inside, either manually or electrically.

Rolling shutters provide total privacy when rolled down.  They block out 99% of the light and glare for daytime sleeping or theater room enjoyment.  The foam insulation also reduces unwanted noise.  You can raise the shutter to a “vented” position to allow ventilation and soft lighting in the room.

Foam core slats stop 99% of solar heat gain, and provide excellent insulation as well.  When rolled down, a dead air space is created between the window and the shutter.  This greatly increases the resistance to heat flow.  Rolling shutters save money and energy, and reduce your carbon footprint.

Rolling shutters enclosing your patio creates an extension of your home and protects your home and patio from all types of weather and debris (even golf balls).  Around a hot tub, rolling shutters can provide privacy when you want it, and an open view when you don’t.

Rolling shutters can be designed into a home prior to construction to minimize visual impact.  SHADE ON DEMAND works with architects and designers to optimize the installation of rolling shutters into your new home design.
