Additionally, these types of shutters can be fitted with sensors that will automatically lower or raise the shutters. You can close them if the weather is not appropriate. The shutters are also low maintenance if they are manufactured or use best and quality components. One thing which you have to keep in mind is that the installation of the shutters is expensive as compared to manual shutters.

Manual shutters

Manual shutters open and close on its own, using a mechanism such as a winder. Still, this option is popular for business owners who are new to this system.

If you have to adjust them you have to move each day to adjust the level you want. They are difficult to open sometimes especially for elderly people.
