Roll-Up Shutters are similar in many ways to a roll up style garage door. Roll-Up Shutters on windows have a framework all the way around a window and roll up in a can or horizontal box overhead and are guided by tracks on the sides.
Roll-Up Shutters on doors are similar but have no framework on the bottom or sill, where you walk.
Roll-Ups can be manually operated on smaller openings but must be motorized on larger openings due to their increased weight. The electric Roll-Ups may also be ordered with a manual override. This will allow them to be lowered or raised in the event of a power loss.
In the case of fixed glass the Roll-Up Shutter may be the only practical solution. Awning and casement windows may require a Roll-Up Shutter too, because both of these types of windows open out. If the fixed glass, awning or casement windows are easily accessible from outside, then an Accordion Shutter may be the best choice.
