SLAT MATERIAL. All Tucson Rolling Shutter slats are made of roll formed aluminum that is injected with insulating foam. This foam core reduces the conduction of heat, cold and sound passing thought the slat. The outer finish is powder coated with a textured, baked on enamel coating that resists abrasion.

DIFFERENT DENSITIES. The slats come standard in normal density foam or can be injected with high density foam for added strength and protection. Additionally, we can special order an extruded aluminum slat for maximum strength and security. The AR/44 is standard on most applications and the AR/55 is used for patio or wide applications.

SCREEN MATERIAL. The best products need to have the best fabric available this is why we use the vinyl coated fiberglass sunscreen offered by 3G Mermet. For 56 years 3G Mermet has perfected the weaving of glassfiber into fabrics.

WHY FIBERGLASS? Pound for pound fiberglass is stronger than steel and it resists rotting and mildew. The material also has a commercial fire classification because it resists heat and is non-combustible. This is important because we want our screen to absorb heat keeping it off your window or door.

Tucson Rolling Shutters Control Options

All of our products have customized controls.  From simple manual, to convenient electric, to entirely automatic operation, you choose the level of convenience that matches your lifestyle.

ELECTRIC rolling shutters and retractable screens have self-contained motors that can be operated with wall-mounted switches, key-operated switches, or hand-held remote controls.  Electric shutters can also have manual override options for emergency use in case of power failure.

SUNFIX® MOTOR. How do make a great system even better? We worked with Somfy to build the SunFix® electronics into the motor. Somfy took it one more step and added radio remote control making the system even more user friendly. Homeowners like the convenience of the wireless one touch operation. Dealers like the easy of installation. Here are some of the features that make this system so appealing:
• Self-contained electronics
• Self-contained radio remote receiver *PDF Link to our Just got cooler ad.*
• Self-corrects for fabric stretch over on this side
• Positive top stop
• Drop and lock in one pass
• Preset fabric tension in lock position

MANUAL OPERATORS Manual operation for rolling shutters include pull strap, crank strap and crank wand. The strap operators are best where security is not a top concern because they cannot be used with our Blocksur security feature. Crank wands have gears that ‘lock’ the shutter in the down position using the BlockSur.

Pull straps require you to pull on the strap to bring the shutter up & down. Crank straps uses the same strap as the pull that goes into a box and you crank a handle attached to the box to bring the unit up and down.

Crank wands are long handles held with both hands and turned to raise and lower the shutter. This crank is also used in conjunction with the electric on the manual override units.
