Motorized Rolling Exterior Shutters

Exterior rolling vinyl or metal  shutters provide the best protection for doors from water and the sun.
Some homes in the southwest have an adobe style house and there is no roof overhang to provide some protection from the rain.

Adobe houses are usually have plenty of  ‘Entry Overhang Roof’, The main entry door is well protected from rain and the sun.
The rest of the house have bare walls with windows and doors that are exposed to rain and sun.

The windows are not a real weather issue since they are very well sealed and made of metal or vinyl not like the doors are.

Most doors are made of wood, the jamb and the trim are usually wood as well.

The purpose of Installing shutters over windows is more for security reason.
Some of the back doors are not used very often and the home owners use the vinyl rolling shutters, both for security and weather protection.

Those kind of shutters are very popular in areas where hurricane is a treat.

  33. Yes Deborah Munoz-Chacon, they are a great deterrent for criminals. I also love their black out ability. They are great for those who need to sleep during the day. They block out light and noise.

  34. I agree to Deborah Munoz-Chacon, these shutters are excellent protection against criminals aside from natural disasters.

  36. It would seem that these shutters would also deter criminals from entering your home when they are down and secured.
