Coastal cities and towns along the coast of Texas may escape the wrath of a hurricane or they may not. Rockport lay directly in the path of Hurricane Harvey and had to face winds touching 130 miles per hour. Residential properties, schools, cottages, and shops that suffered damage and financial losses could have escaped these if they had installed appropriate hurricane protection. Roll down shutters are among our best defenses against the fury of hurricane winds.
Not only do these shutters prevent damage to life and property from hurricanes, they also guard against thieves, vandals, fires, and other acts of God.
Roll down shutters are hinged louver panels boxed above the opening that is intended to be covered. They do not obstruct view. You do not have to install or uninstall them. Handling and deploying roll down hurricane shutters is easy.
Roll up shutters stocked by our retailers are tested to withstand hurricane winds and are resistant against prying tools used in break-ins. These shutters enhance energy efficiency all times of the year. Window glass and the insides of your homes that would have otherwise been damaged are protected.
The roll-formed aluminum is very strong and will not bend against glass even when installed to cover wide openings. With roll down shutters in place, you can even advertise your business by painting the shutters in your brand’s colors. If you have multiple outlets across cities, then these shutters are a great opportunity at reinforcing brand identity.
A good roll shutter is defined by its ability to meet local municipal construction codes. It should have a strong body and be constructed to meet specific needs. Roll up shutters can have a core of polyurethane or hard resin. Polyurethane shutters protect from heat and cold; they are excellent insulators. Shutters made from extruded aluminum and with a hard resin core are ideal for security. Commercial enterprises can benefit from them. Roll shutters will also protect your Rockport home or business from sound pollution.
