Roller shutters in Tecumseh

Roller (rolling) shutters close over a window from outside; wood shutters work from inside the room. Which does what in Tecumseh's weather and homes.

Blocking summer sun

A roller shutter rolls down outside the glass and blocks sun before it reaches the window, the main reason people buy them in hot cities. Interior wood louvers can't do that, but they let you keep the view and daylight while cutting glare.

What installing involves

Roller shutters mount outside with a housing above the window, and motorized ones need power to each window. Interior shutters fix inside the opening with a drill and a screwdriver.

How to install

Darkness and privacy

Closed, a roller shutter makes a room close to dark, with no view. Wood shutters let you choose: tilt for daylight with privacy, close for more, open the panels for the full view.
