What to Consider when Choosing Hurricane Shutters
You can choose from several types of hurricane shutters, including manual or electric roll-down shutters.
Consider these factors when choosing a roll-up storm shutter for your home or business.
- Material: Steel or aluminum shutters are sturdier than other options, such as wood, fiberglass, or polycarbonate.
- Installation Type: Some storm shutters require professional installation, while you can install others on your own.
- Building Style: Consider what type of shutter best meets the needs of your home or business. Some shutters, for example, cover only windows, while others are suitable for both windows and doors. If you plan to install permanent shutters, consider how the shutters will fit with the aesthetic of your building.
- Manual vs. Electric: Automatic shutters are motorized for quick and effortless deployment, while other types of shutters operate manually. Manual shutters require you to roll down the shutters before each storm.
- Placement: Make sure you identify what area your shutters need to protect. For example, the top of the window versus the sides of a window, may require a different shutter to be installed.
How Automatic Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters Work
Automatic roll-down shutters offer the highest security of any available storm shutter. With the added benefits of convenience, flexibility, and customizability, these storm shutter systems provide premier hurricane protection for any home or business.
The rolling hurricane shutters use a minimal-size roll-formed aluminum housing box installed over windows or doors. The shutter rolls down over the window when needed and retracts into the box when not used. Deploy the motorized shutters with a switch, remote, Wi-Fi, or app control options.

Why Choose Motorized Rolling Hurricane Shutters
Durability
Roll-up shutters offer the highest level of protection of any window shutter option. The automatic rolling shutters are constructed from sturdy aluminum, with guide rails and box housing reinforced for maximum durability.
The innovative AnchorLoc end retention system secures the rolling curtain to the two guide rails with high-strength anchors that prevent the shutter from being forced out of place.
The rolling hurricane shutters meet Florida State Hurricane Shutter Certification, and they’re proven to withstand winds up to 192 mph.
With roll-down hurricane shutters, you can rest assured that your home or business has the highest level of security against weather damage.
Ease of Operation
Hurricane roll-up shutter control options include a switch, remote, Wi-Fi, or mobile app. Thus, when a storm hits, you can lower them with minimal effort from a remote location.
The shutter motor is battery-powered, so you don’t have to worry about the shutters not operating in case of a power outage. The storm shutter system can also be equipped with a wind sensor powered by a solar panel, programmed to close the shutters automatically at a certain wind speed.
Customizable Design
The roll-down shutters are available in seven standard color options or any custom color. Thus, you can easily match the shutters to the trim color of your home or business.
Permanent Installation
Roll-down shutters are a good investment as they are installed permanently. This means they don’t require any additional storage or the effort of repeated installations and take-downs. And, unlike other permanently installed shutter types, rolling shutters easily roll up and store compactly when not in use to let in sunlight and offer unhindered functionality for doors and windows.
Covers More Than Windows
While some hurricane shutters only cover windows, our roll-up storm shutters are installed over various openings, including walls with multiple windows and sliding glass doors.
Additional Functions
Rolling hurricane shutters offer more than just storm protection. They also provide reliable security against break-ins, sunlight blocking, temperature regulation, and privacy.

Business Testimonials
“Working with Southwest Solutions including Matt, Susan, and especially Brad was great. They provide amazing customer service. Brad and the install team were especially great. Very professional, easy to work with, and did the work quickly and very well with very little input from us. If we need help with carousel storage moves, parts, or new equipment we will start with Southwest Solutions. ”
“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
“I want to let you know that we all really appreciated your team mentality, professionalism and dedication shown on this project. It was a pleasure working with you and your office and we look forward to many more. Please pass along my gratitude to everyone who worked on this project. Thanks! ”
“I just want to take a minute to let you know how good of a job your install crew did yesterday. They were quick, fast, courteous and very consensus during the install. They were awesome to say the least. Being in the service business ourselves, we know that you can never hear the words “Good Job” often enough. Please pass this along to your crew.”
