Manual Roll Ups shutters are attached above the window. They roll up and store in an enclosed box when not in use. They are lowered either manually by a hand crank and lock in place for storm protection.

Pros

Are permanently affixed above the windows and don‚t require any extra storage space.

Can easily be made storm-ready by one person.

Offer some of the best protection, and make an excellent theft deterrent.

Cons

Most expensive of the popular shutter systems.

Push-button-operated roll-down shutters require a battery backup system so the shutters can be lowered and raised during power outages.
