The Basics

What Are Roll-Up Security Shutters?

A roll-up security shutter is a curtain of interlocking aluminium slats that travels vertically in guide rails fixed either side of an opening and rolls into a housing above it. Each slat is extruded aluminium with an insulating foam core, so a closed shutter puts a physical barrier across the opening and blocks light. Operation is either manual, by crank, or motorised from a remote or a wall switch.

Peterborough sits on the Trent-Severn Waterway and serves as the hub for the wider Kawarthas, so properties here split three ways: year-round homes in the city, seasonal cottages on Chemong Lake, Katchewanooka and the Kawartha Lakes chain, and rural properties around Lakefield and Bridgenorth. For a cottage the shutter is mostly about the months nobody is there — a closed aluminium curtain across the windows, patio doors and boathouse opening while the property sits empty. Size, slat profile and finish are specified per opening, which is why every quote starts with a measure. More detail on roll-up shutters.

What Peterborough-Area Properties Actually Need

Waterfront and cottage properties drive a specific set of projects here, with the city's commercial core and the rural townships adding their own.

Boathouse Doors

Boathouse doors are the project we quote most in the Kawarthas. Framing and clearances differ from one boathouse to the next, and some structures shift through the year, so each opening is measured and the system mounted to suit that structure.

Kawartha Lakes Cottages

Seasonal Cottage Lockup

Kawartha cottages are often unoccupied from October through May, and many owners choose shutters to close off ground-floor windows and patio doors while the property sits empty.

Rural Storage & Outbuildings

Rural properties often need a clean way to close up tools, boats, toys and equipment over the off-season months — a roll-up door on a garage, shed or storage building that keeps the interior clear.

Storefronts & Restaurants

The downtown commercial corridor along George Street and Hunter Street uses storefront shutters as an after-hours closure for retail and restaurant units — solid where the unit closes down, grilles where the display stays visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Peterborough Service Area FAQ

Yes — this is one of the main reasons cottage owners in the Kawarthas ask us about shutters. Closing roll-up shutters across ground-floor windows and patio doors puts an aluminium curtain over those openings for the months the property is unoccupied. For insurance vacancy requirements, check directly with your insurer. More on window security shutters.
Yes. Boathouse roll-up doors on Trent-Severn properties, Chemong Lake, Katchewanooka and nearby waterways are a recurring project for us. Boathouses vary in framing and clearance, and some structures shift through the year, so we size and mount every system to the specific clearances and framing of that structure. The doors are aluminium with a powder-coat finish. See boathouse doors.
The slats are extruded aluminium with a powder-coat finish. At waterfront properties, keep the bottom seal and guide tracks clear of ice and debris in late fall and early spring, and follow the manufacturer's care guidance. We can go over the right setup for your specific structure during the consultation.
Yes. We schedule Peterborough-area consultations on dedicated trip days that cover Peterborough city, Lakefield, Bridgenorth and nearby Kawartha communities. Because of the distance from our Richmond Hill base, we ask that you book in advance so we can plan the trip efficiently. Contact us or submit a quote request and we'll coordinate a date.
Yes. Manual shutters run on a crank and need no electrical connection, which suits cottages, boathouses and outbuildings where there is no power at the opening. Motorized shutters need a supply at the opening; where one isn't there, the electrical work may be handled separately by an electrician. We flag which openings need power at the quote stage. Compare the operation types.
Yes. We fit solid storefront shutters where a unit closes down completely and side-folding grilles where the display needs to stay visible after hours. Most downtown units need landlord or property manager sign-off first, so we plan access and timing into the quote.
Window shutters typically run $800 to $1,500 per window and roll-up garage doors $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the size of the opening, the slat profile, manual or motorized operation, and the mounting conditions. Boathouse and cabana openings vary too much in size and framing to range in advance, so they are priced individually after a free onsite measure.
