Motorized Rolling Shutters for Florida Homes & Businesses

 

Automated Hurricane Protection Installed by West Shore Construction

Motorized rolling shutters provide strong, reliable hurricane protection for Florida homes and commercial properties. Designed for fast deployment and long-term durability, these automated systems protect windows, doors, and large openings from hurricane-force winds, flying debris, and pressure changes.

West Shore Construction installs professionally engineered motorized rolling shutters throughout Clearwater, Tampa Bay, and surrounding coastal communities. With decades of experience and a Florida State Certified Building Contractor license, our team delivers solutions built to perform when storms approach.

What Are Motorized Rolling Shutters?

Motorized rolling shutters are permanently installed hurricane protection systems made from heavy-duty aluminum. When activated, the shutters roll down over openings to create a solid barrier between your property and severe weather conditions.

Unlike temporary storm panels or fabric systems, motorized rolling shutters are always in place and deploy with the push of a button, making them ideal for properties that require fast, dependable protection.

Benefits of Motorized Rolling Shutters

Strong Hurricane & Storm Protection

Motorized rolling shutters are engineered to withstand high winds and impact from airborne debris. When deployed, they help prevent window failure and reduce the risk of structural damage caused by pressure changes during hurricanes.

Fast, Easy Deployment

With motorized operation, shutters can be deployed quickly using a remote control, wall switch, or integrated smart-home system. This allows property owners to secure their homes or businesses without manual installation or heavy lifting.

Added Security & Privacy

Beyond storm protection, rolling shutters provide an added layer of security against break-ins. When closed, they also enhance privacy and reduce exterior noise.

Energy Efficiency

Motorized rolling shutters act as an insulating barrier, helping block heat during Florida’s hot months and reducing energy loss year-round. This can contribute to improved indoor comfort and lower cooling costs.

Built for Coastal Environments

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum, motorized rolling shutters are designed to perform in humid, salt-air conditions common throughout the Tampa Bay region.

Motorized Rolling Shutters vs. Motorized Hurricane Screens

While both systems are automated, they serve different needs:

  • Motorized Rolling Shutters create a solid barrier and offer maximum protection and security.

  • Motorized Hurricane Screens provide impact resistance while maintaining airflow and visibility.

Our team can help you compare options and determine which system—or combination of systems—is best for your property.
