Control Considerations

The control side of the shutter is always determined from the inside of the window (right or left). It is best to make the shutter as wide as possible to keep a manual control away from the wood trim on the inside and outside of the house (you don't need to drill through the wood trim if possible). This is especially true with metal windows without outside trim.

There are four types of controls available for rolling shutters.

1. Electric - Different types of switches available.
2. Crank- gearbox can be turned over to change the height of the control hole.
3. Strap - best for small shutters
4. Push up - can be used for counter-top serving windows.
