Hurricanes Shutters Installation
Hurricane shutters are an important part of being prepared for a hurricane. It is important to choose the right type of shutters for your home. We can help you with that! There are different hurricane shutters, and each has its advantages.
What are Hurricane Shutters?
During a hurricane or severe storm, high winds can cause damage to your home. In particular, windows can break, letting in rain, wind, and debris. In addition, broken windows during a hurricane can cause an increase in pressure inside your home, leading to roof damage and more.
Hurricane shutters act as a barrier against the wind, protecting windows and preventing flying debris, rain, hail and destructive wind from entering the home. Although they are necessary for residents of certain geographic areas during hurricane season, hurricane shutters should not be left up year-round. In addition, proper cleaning and maintenance of storm shutters will protect your investment and your home.
Types of Hurricane Shutters
There are a few different types of hurricane shutters:
This type of shutter unfolds like an accordion and protects the window. Accordion hurricane shutters, consisting of a series of small, interconnected panels that move on a metal rail, are made of aluminum, making them strong and durable against hurricane winds, and water damage. They are also suitable for sliding glass doors and picture windows.
Automatic shutters, made of polycarbonate plastic or aluminum, can be lowered to protect the glass. Although they provide excellent protection, roll-down shutters require a closed box along the top of the window, which does not look very attractive.
This type of shutter is a good choice for commercial property, as it can be quickly rolled up and out of the way when not in use. They are operated manually or automatically and are made of aluminum or galvanized steel.
Aluminum panels are much lighter than other metal shutters, making them easier to install. However, despite their lightweight, they are often thicker than steel options.
Steel hurricane shutters provide excellent protection in harsh weather and are one of the less expensive metal panel options. Steel storm panels are also heavier than other types, which can make installation more tedious if you have a large home with many windows that need to be closed.
Polycarbonate hurricane panels are very durable and, in some ways, easier to handle and install than plywood or metal. These hurricane panels have the added benefit of letting in light, which helps in the event of a power outage or when installing shutters in anticipation of a hurricane.

All good, just haven’t wired them up yet because it’s winter. I had them installed very late in the fall. Our friend has them, and they are fantastic. The installers are very professional, and very polite and clean and organized. Much appreciated these days!

Excellent service and product
Mark McNeil
My total experience from start to finish was a total pleasure. Professional in every way from Kirill in sales to Mania in the office to the whole install team. There was attention to detail, and follow up all the way thru. And there is still a custom piece to come .I will update this review in the next couple of weeks. But I have all the confidence in the world that the final pieces will be the crowning touch. Thanks to everyone on the team for a job well done so far !!!

We couldn’t be happier with our RollUp door and the service we have received. The employees have all been very helpful and responsive from beginning to end, from customer service, sales to warehouse staff. Delivery was even ahead of schedule. The product itself is top notch.

I used ROLLerUp for a small roll up door on my backyard patio bar. They were quick to come measure the project. Delivery was within a reasonable time line ( 4/5 weeks). Installation was quick and professional. I am very satisfied with this product and company. I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing their services.Allen P.

I don’t post often, but my experience with Roller Up was so positive that I felt it necessary to share. From the initial consultation with Kirill, to the install, and finally the UNBELIEVABLE customer support from Marina, I can’t recommend this company enough. The quality of shades are top notch and this is a company that truly cares about its customer. I had a couple of small adjustments that were required after I had already paid in full, and even though they could have shrugged it off, roller up did the opposite and helped me out immediately. Marina made sure I got the support I needed, by sending out a tech and connecting me with someone over zoom as well, just to make sure everything was working as it should (btw, THANK YOU, Eugene, for the patience and support you gave me as well). I could go on and on but basically just wanted to give roller up my highest praise and I fully recommend this company to anyone looking to install any of the products they sell. You won’t regret it. Thank you Roller Up!Elliott

Great service, on time delivery and terrific pricing.
Terry Willows
Excellent experience! We are very pleased with the ordering and installation process.
Linda Zeng
We have to say that this is the best decision we did! During the pandemic, we undergone a backyard renovation project to create our oasis/cottage at home. An outbuilding was the focus point of this project and we knew, how much sun this building would get. Like anything since the pandemic started, with all prices went up and we were busting our budget, this was one item that we were glad that we did not scrape. With the photos below, one can see the difference of that sun directly shooting to your eyes, versus the UV 90% block afterwards. I believe the video shows the best difference on the effect RollerUP’s screen! We are truly appreciative of Alex and Eugene’s passion and hard work for their clients and would recommend their products to anyone in the market!
Jessie Yu
Great product. Installed on our store front office. Thank you!
Steven Argyris
Very good experience dealing with Rollerup. I am very pleased with the finished installation.
Bernie Ceschia
From my first interaction with ROLLerUP I was pleased; getting a phone call returned in the GTA is a feat unto itself! Star 1. It cost less than I thought it would. My roll up laneway gate arrived within the timeframe I was told, (star 2) but when installers arrived I wasn’t quite ready. They didn’t freak out, they advised me to reschedule. “We don’t mind, and we don’t want you to have to spend money later if the door is damaged”. Star 3. When installation finally happened I couldn’t have been more pleased. Brandon & Leo did a great job & made me feel as though my job was important, all the while being personable. Stars 4 and 5. Highly recommended.
Rob Graham
Very good service and quality of product and installation. Highly satisfied and would recommend to others.

The customer service at roller up shutters is nothing short of stellar. If I could put 10 stars I would. Marina and the entire team did an excellent job at meeting all of our expectations with our order. We ordered two very large shutters to enclose the kitchen area of our Cabana. From our first consultation to the final installation, it was timely, they gave updates and they were very accommodating with installation dates that worked with our schedule. The final product was perfect! Even the installers were professional, on time and took care of the work area as though it was their own place they were working in. Thank you to the entire team and we look forward to sending you as much business as we can.

The installation crew, Eugene, Brandon and Leo, were detailed and professional.

My mother found this company searching on Google and I’m glad to say they are better than your average! It started with her just wanting a garage door roll up for our carport; the sales associate woman was so patient and helpful with her and the installers were very professional, really nice and didn’t leave until everything was clean and she knew exactly how to use everything! She loved the finished project so much that she called them back to install an awning in her backyard! Both look beautiful. Both work amazing thank you all so so much !! Highly recommend this company!

This is an excellent Company to deal with. I first dealt with RollerUp about 2 years ago as I was looking for someone to repair an old Rollag shutter. They came out to look at the job and discovered a broken plastic spindle reel guide and since parts were not available, they had a metal guide manufactured to make the repair. I have just had 2 additional shutters installed and the process from selection to measurements to manufacturing to installation date to installation all went very smotthly. I cannot say enough about the RollerUp employees- warm and friendly while very professional and competent even with all the issues with COVID. Great people, great product and a great experience.
Michael Corlett
As a residential design/build firm, we have used many sub-trades for various reasons. ROLLerUP created a rolling door for a cabana. Their service, communication and installation were impeccable. We received what we ordered and on time. We highly recommend ROLLerUP and will use them again without a doubt.
Linda Aquila
The process was smooth and the finished product looks great. Ryan and Rob completed the installation quickly and efficiently while explaining everything I needed to know.

Bruce Bowser
Thanks Roller up – i’m happy with the product your sold us but i’m even happier with your responsiveness and after sale service. No one (or company) is perfect, but how you treat and respond to your customers is the mark of a business that cares. You have exceeded my expectations and would refer your company to anyone that asks.
Jared Simms
Once in a while you select a company that exceeds your expectations big time. Such is RollerUp. A fair price, good quality and completed ahead of schedule. My thanks to the team, especially quarterback Eugene and of course,, Roy.
Mike Mclean
I am very impressed, from the shutter itself to the packaging and the Smarties, the quality is as good or better than I expected. Dimensions, which were critical, were exact and every piece and part right down to the last screw, with some always needed extras, were included.Excellent customer service and follow up from start to finish by Irina.I used it for a home interior application to enclose a furnace room and it does exactly what I had planned, which I couldn’t achieve with a stud wall and door. Gives me extra space in the laundry room while still providing clear and easy access to all of the mechanicals. Operates very smoothly and quietly. Great product!
Wayne Groves
We received great service from ROLLerUp! Very responsive and excellent work!

I came home one day opened my garage and found it would not close back up. After literally 40years of the shutter opening and closing effortlessly the run was over. I call “another Emergency” garage service hoping they could help and all they managed to do was Wreck the key to the lock. The next day I Called up Rollerup.ca, they quickly came out to my house inspected and started to get to work ASAP. After all was said and done the culprit the Motor was gone. They quickly ordered the parts required, and spent the rest of the time at the house inspecting and repair/servicing the 5 manual roll shutters replacing the “Tapes”. I am extremely happy with the due diligence and eagerness and professionalism of the Techs that came to the house. The Quality of workmanship that both the main office and the Techs has made me very happy . I would highly recommend RollerUp.ca
Josef Schauer
We had roll shutters installed in our home in all bedroom windows. It’s so great to finally have real darkness in the rooms when shutter are closed, and not being waken up by the morning light. It’s also great for both sound and climate insulation. We are very satisfied. Timing was respected, prices were okay, installation went fast and smoothly, and the quality looks good so far.
