Rolling Window shutters have been popular in Europe and among the hurricane-prone regions of the United States for many years. Now, with more concern about security, energy savings, tornado protection and privacy with today's smaller lots, they are becoming very popular throughout the United States.

Installing rolling shutters saves money in several ways. Three slats, some filled with foam insulation, create an insulating dead air space outside your window to lower cooling and heating costs. They provide natural light without sacrificing security and privacy.

Rolling shutters are a sophisticated security system for windows, doors and other exterior openings. They are customized to fit any application size and thus provide an effective burglary deterrent when completely closed. The shutter system can even be integrated into an alarm system. Especially in coastal areas, the popularity of security rolling shutters is increasing due to their ability of withstanding hurricane force winds and flying debris. Chicagone has always emphasized on providing high-quality products. Recently implemented building codes within coastal areas require shutters to pass stringent standardized impact tests.

Rolling Shutters are made of many horizontal 1.5 to 2 inch durable insulating slats that operate like a roll top deck. The basic slat material options are PVC plastic, rolled aluminum with insulation, and extruded aluminum. Insulated rolled aluminum is tougher than PVC for better wind and impact resistance.

Extruded aluminum is the strongest, but also the heaviest. The slat ends roll up into a long narrow housing that is hidden under the roof overhang. For convenience and security, open and close the shutters from indoors.

The least expensive method, for smaller windows, uses a small indoor strap to operate the shutter. For heavier ones, a hand crank is used. Even larger units use an electric motor.
