Storm Protection
The Nautilus Rolling Shutters provide CAT-5 protection against strong winds, flying debris, and heavy rain during hurricanes and tropical storms. They help safeguard your property from damage, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
Convenience
With options for electric, crank or hand operation, the Nautilus Rolling Shutter is quick and easy to deploy. The blades roll up into a small housing at the top of the opening, presenting a sleek and clean profile when not in use.
Security
Beyond storm protection, Nautilus Rolling Shutters also enhance the security of your home. When fully closed, they act as a deterrent to potential intruders, providing an additional layer of defense against looting, burglary or vandalism.
Energy Efficiency
Nautilus Rolling Shutters can help improve energy efficiency by blocking out sunlight and insulating windows, which can reduce heat transfer. This can lead to lower cooling costs during hot summers in South Florida, as well as providing privacy and shading when desired.

The smaller housing size is a tremendous advantage to maintain the aesthetics of any structure, especially residential homes and storefront applications. Due to the smaller housing size, the slats have a shorter distance to travel between the track and the center reel. This reduces deflection, friction and strain on the motor/gear.
The small diameter of the center reel, combined with the compact way the slats conform around each other, increases and maintains the optimum motor/gear/spring torque. Tracks are available with a snap cover for a finished look. This conceals the fasteners and provides additional security. It can also be used as a chase for a power cord.
The phenomenal strength and design load capacity of this system speaks for itself. The Nautilus system is ideal for residential, storefront, commercial, mid-rise and even high-rise applications.
