Serving the Charleston Lowcountry

Roll-down shutters in Charleston.

When a storm is bearing down on the Lowcountry, the last thing you want is to be wrestling panels onto every window. Roll-down shutters close in seconds — by hand crank or at the push of a button — then disappear into a slim housing the rest of the year. Shade Coast installs impact-certified aluminum roll shutters that deliver storm protection, security, and energy savings for Charleston homes.

Storm protection, Charleston

Protection that disappears when it's done.

Roll-down shutters use horizontal aluminum slats that glide up and down on side tracks and tuck into a discreet aluminum box above each window or door. Operate them from inside or out — by hand crank, or with a motor you can control by remote or smartphone from anywhere. Beyond hurricane season, the same shutters add security, block heat to improve energy efficiency, and darken a room for daytime sleepers. Every unit is finished in a baked-on powder coat that stands up to Charleston's salt air.

  • ES / 40mm slats — Florida Building Code-approved protection in a compact profile.
  • ES / 55mm slats — Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code-approved for high-velocity storm zones.
  • 63mm slats — Florida Building Code-approved for larger openings and patio doors.
  • Manual or motorized — choose a smooth hand crank or add a motor with remote and smartphone control.
  • Color choices — white, ivory, mocha, and beige in a durable baked-on powder coat.
  • Everyday benefits — added security, improved energy efficiency, and room-darkening privacy year-round.
