The fastest deploying
system we install.

Roll-down shutters use horizontal aluminum slats that drop from a discreet header box installed above each opening. With manual hand-crank or fully-motorized operation, you can be storm-ready at the press of a button — and the rest of the year, the entire system is hidden in its housing.

The slats themselves come in multiple Florida Building Code-approved profiles, and the entire assembly is finished in a powder-coated marine-grade coating. Roll-downs also double as a daily security shutter — a real plus for ground-floor openings and beach-house second homes that sit empty between visits.

Common questions

Roll-down
shutter questions.

What homeowners ask before they book.

How do roll-down hurricane shutters work?

Horizontal aluminum slats drop from a discreet header box installed above each opening. You close them with a hand crank or a motor, and the rest of the year the whole system stays hidden in its housing.

Should I choose manual or motorized roll-down shutters?

Manual hand-crank shutters cost less and need no power. Motorized shutters close with a remote and can connect to smart-home or app control, which suits large openings and second homes that sit empty between visits.

Are roll-down shutters hurricane rated?

The slat profiles we install are Florida Building Code approved, and the system is finished in a marine-grade powder coat. The certification paperwork for your specific openings comes with your quote.

Do roll-down shutters work as security shutters?

Yes. Closed, they double as a daily security shutter, which is a real plus on ground-floor openings and beach houses that are empty for weeks at a time.

Where do you install roll-down shutters?

Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Conway, Little River, Longs, Pawleys Island and Carolina Forest, plus the Charleston area.
