Rolldown shutters generally ship within 4-6 weeks. These times are estimates based on prior orders and can change at any given time due to supply and demand. In slower times, many orders are completed sooner than these estimates whereas in busy times the orders may take longer than estimated. We can assure you we always work extremely hard on getting all orders completed as soon as possible.

We exclusively carry the Bertha/A.S.S.A line of roll-down shutter as they are considered by many to be the best storm shutter in the industry!
Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters are among the easiest and strongest type of hurricane shutter and are ideal for single family homes, condominium, apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings.
Roll-down shutters, also known as roll-up shutters or simply "roll shutters", sit above your window or door at all times and are easily lowered when a storm is approaching by either a motor, a manual crank handle, or in some cases, by hand (the new 63mm single wall shutter). The shutters are continuously contained in a small box above your opening and are rolled down along heavy-duty tracks which line the left and right side of your opening.
Benefits of Roll-Down Shutters:
- Extremely Strong - Considered to be among the strongest type of hurricane shutter available
- Ease of Use - Can be lowered in seconds with little or no effort - Even from across the world!
- Security - Completely covers your opening, making it extremely difficult to penetrate
- Light & Noise Blocking - Blocks out outside lighting and minimizes outside noise - perfect for bedrooms or theater rooms
- Decreases heating & cooling costs - provides UV protection from the sun’s harmful rays
We offer three sizes of roll-down shutter:
1. 40mm double wall vented slats (non-vented slats available upon request)
2. 55mm double wall vented slats (non-vented slats available upon request)
3. New 63mm single wall non-vented slats - Open and Close by Hand! (Restrictions Apply). Vented Slats not available
The main difference between the three types is the size of the slats on the shutter and the “single” or “double” wall. The “mm” refers to the height of each slat in millimeters (Each slat on a 40mm shutter is approximately 1.57” high, Each slat on a 55mm shutter is approximately 2.17” high, and each slat on a 63mm shutter is approximately 2.48” high). The 40mm and 55mm feature a “double wall” which features a closed loop while the 63mm is a single wall only.
Vented slats allow light to pass through the rolldown when desired.
All three types of shutter can be used with or without a motor. When used with a motor, our roll-down shutters can be lowered and raised with a push of a button or even from miles away with your smart phone! Our shutters can be powered with either 110v or 220v circuits or even by solar power with our optional solar power kit! Have Alexa or Google Home? Our shutters can work with them too!
All of our roll-down shutters are made of strong and durable 6063-T6 aluminum alloy and have an end-retention system which eliminates the need for additional bracing.

Our roll-down shutters come in four (4) colors: White, Ivory, Beige, or Bronze. See colors below.
Step 6.1: Keyed Lock
If you select a manually operated shutter, you can choose to upgrade to a keyed lock which is located on the bottom slat. The key can be faced outside (shown below) or inside and will be faced outside unless requested differently. 
Step 7: Crank Handle Location
We offer four different positions and two sides (Left or right) to install the universal crank handle on the hood/box. Looking at the opening from the outside, the four positions are:
Position #1: Inside (Bottom) - This location is INSIDE the building with the crank handle location being towards the bottom of the hood/box. Additionally, choose which side of the box you want the handle - the left or right side. Choosing this option requires the installer to drill a hole through the building. The crank handle will then be operable from the inside of the building. If Position #1 is selected, you will receive an additional 18" cuttable rod used to attach the crank handle to the motor assembly.
Position #2: Inside (Top) - This location is INSIDE the building with the crank handle location being towards the top of the hood/box. Additionally, choose which side of the box you want the handle - the left or right side. Choosing this option requires the installer to drill a hole through the building. The crank handle will then be operable from the inside of the building. If Position #2 is selected, you will receive an additional 18" cuttable rod used to attach the crank handle to the motor assembly.
Position #3: Outside (Top) - This location is OUTSIDE the building with the crank handle location being towards the top of the hood/box. Additionally, choose which side of the box you want the handle - the left or right side. This option does not require any additional drilling. The crank handle will be operable from the outside of the building. Se picture below.
Position #4: Outside (Bottom) - This location is OUTSIDE the building with the crank handle location being towards the bottom of the hood/box. This is the most common position. Additionally, choose which side of the box you want the handle - the left or right side. This option does not require any additional drilling. The crank handle will be operable from the outside of the building. See picture below.
Step 7.2: Manual Switch Types for Motorized Shutters
We offer two types of manual switches for motorized shutters - maintain and momentary.
A "momentary" switch will activate when you push and hold the switch in its up or down position. When you release it, it goes back to the middle and the rolldown stops moving.
A "maintain" switch activates by pushing the switch to its up or down position without having to hold the switch. The rolldown will continue to lower or raise until it has reached the end.
The main difference being that you have to hold the momentary switch whereas the maintain switch you do not.
Additional Information
- 40mm and 55mm rolldowns come standard with vented slats, however, 63mm rolldowns have only non-vented slats. Vented slats are not available on the 63mm rolldown. Non-vented slats are available on 40mm and 55mm rolldowns if specifically requested.
- The minimum "finished" width for a 63mm to be hand operable only is 31 inches.
- All 63mm shutters ordered without a motor will come with a crank handle unless specifically requested at the time of ordering. Not all 63mm shutter sizes can accommodate the hand lift feature.
- If a keyed lock is selected, the lock is is accessible from both the inside and outside of the shutter.
- The motor is located on the same side as the crank handle. If you select to have the crank handle on the right side, the motor will also be on the right side.
- Hardware to install is not included due to the different type and length requirements associated with each individual installation. Check your local municipality for your specific requirements.
- The crank handle (if included) provided with your rolldown shutter is 5 feet long. If you need an extension or a longer handle please reach out to us or it must be purchased separately - possibly elsewhere.
