Roll Shutters – The History
Roll shutters were developed in Europe over 80 years ago. Originally, this product was intended as an energy-efficient window treatment. As WWII progressed in Europe, roll shutters became a necessity for blackouts during the allied bombing raids. When air raid sirens alerted shop and homeowners that bombing was imminent, they lowered the roll shutters over their windows and doors. Thus, glass was protected from flying debris and lights could remain inside their homes.
Since that time, roll shutters have become extremely popular not only in Europe but around the world. In many European countries, such as Germany, Italy, France, and Spain, roll shutters are a standard feature on homes and businesses. The roll shutter business has grown to become a multi-billion dollar industry. The products’ popularity has spread to the Middle East, Australia, South America, and to the United States.
Here in the United States, roll shutters are used for a variety of applications. In the Southwest and the North. They are used for energy savings, security, light control, and a host of other reasons. Hurricane protection is the primary use in coastal areas such as Florida, Texas, and the Southeastern seaboard. The industry was started in the U. S. over 40 years ago and has been a phenomenal success.
