    Roll Shutter Protects a Home from Storms, Forced Entry

    When closed, the shutters not only provide storm protection, but also protect from theft or forced entry, along with adding privacy and sun and shade control.

    The new EASY LIFT Roll Shutter from Eastern Metal Supply is virtually invisible. When closed, the shutters not only provide storm protection, but also protect from theft or forced entry, along with adding privacy and sun and shade control. The Roll Shutter system can be controlled manually by a crank or remotely, utilizing a motorized system. A homeowner also can use a variety of home-automation options, such as Alexa or Google Home, to secure the home with the shutters from anywhere in the world. The single-wall rolling shutter system is made of extruded 6063-T6 high-tensile-strength aluminum single-wall slats, resulting in a product that offers the same storm protection at half the weight of its predecessors. Its lighter weight allows for smaller, more efficient controlling motors. Storage, manufacturing, transportation and installation are all less expensive, and automation is easier to control.
