Local couple details benefits offered by Rolladen Rolling Shutters
Edna and Ramon Martinez have a home situated on a plateau in the Sun City Anthem area of the southeastern valley. The front of the 3,100-square-foot single-story residence faces east, so the back half of the residence faces the winds and the sunlight exposure of the west.
The couple had Rolladen Rolling shutters installed over eight windows on the west side of the home, which has a view of the Las Vegas Valley.
Additionally, the couple added design to the shutters by including white, beige and brown slats with each curtain.
“I just liked the looks of a little design rather than one color,” Edna Martinez said.
“My daughter had Rolladens and I liked the idea that they are tight,” she said. “In the winter, we have full exposure for the sun to heat our home while also having protection from the sun during the summer.”
Edna Martinez said the couple is better able to control its environment with the shutters, which are operated by remote control.
The shutters can be left open, fully closed or in the vented position.
During the winter, cold winds many times infiltrate a home and spur the need for added heat. The Rolladens help to keep the heat within their home.
Rolladen Rolling Shutters are foam-filled slats used over doors and windows.
They lower power consumption as much as 64 percent while also protecting against burglaries, dust, wind, heat and cold, according to company officials.
Each home or business is measured by Rolladen personnel before the shutters are manufactured locally with parts from Europe.
The company is offering free installation through Jan. 31, company officials said.
Rolladen’s showrooms are at 6168 W. Charleston Blvd., just west of Jones Boulevard and at 4405 Wagon Trail Ave. near Arville Street and Sunset Road.
Fran Minnozzi opened Rolladen Rolling Shutters in Southern Nevada in 1984.
Since then, the company has equipped thousands of businesses and residences all over the Las Vegas Valley, she said.
