SHADING

House picture 6

You wouldn't really put drapes over these windows, would you?

In the Summer, heat can cost you more than you might realize--with utility rates increasing as they do at that time due to the brutal radiant heat from the sun, mercilessly assaulting eastern and western exposures alike, not to mention daytime outside temperatures staying well above 90 degrees for weeks at a time.  Rolling shutters are on the outside of the glass - kind of like a "shade tree on demand" - providing unparalleled  protection from direct solar gain. But, they also provide insulative value up to 3 times that of regular glass.  New customers have actually reported hearing what they described as a "sigh of relief" coming from the direction of their A/C unit!  Seriously though, Exterior Rolling Shutters can often pay for themselves in the amounts that you don't end up sending to the power company.
