The Best of Both Worlds

Closed Up When You're Away. Open Views When You're There.

Roll-up shutters let you enjoy the cottage with nothing across the glass, then close it up when you leave for the season.

Cottage & Seasonal

Closing Up a Cottage for the Season

A cottage spends most of the year empty. The nearest neighbour may be out of sight, the road may not be ploughed, and the side of the building that faces the water is usually the side with the most glass.

Roll-up shutters close those openings with interlocking aluminum slats that run in reinforced side guides. Each shutter covers its whole opening, from the housing down to the sill, and solid slats shut out daylight while nobody is there. When you arrive, each curtain rolls up into a compact housing above the opening and the view is exactly as it was.

We install across Ontario cottage country, including Muskoka, the Kawarthas, Georgian Bay, Lake Simcoe and Haliburton. The same system covers windows, patio doors, garages and boathouses, so one visit can cover the whole property.

Benefits

Why Roll-Up Shutters for Cottages?

Off-Season Lock-Up

Close every opening before you leave. Interlocking aluminum slats lock into reinforced side guides over windows and doors.

Full-Opening Coverage

A closed shutter covers the whole opening, from the housing down to the sill, on windows, patio doors and garage openings alike.

Open Views When You're There

The curtain rolls into a compact housing above the opening. No bars, no grilles and nothing left across the glass.

Aluminum Construction

Extruded aluminum slats with a powder-coated finish, a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel or wood.

Motorized, Manual or Solar

Somfy motorized operation by remote, wall switch or phone app. Manual operation and solar-powered motor packages are available for buildings without reliable power.

Light Control

Solid slats shut out daylight when fully closed, or lower a shutter partway for shade while you are there.

Product Fit

Recommended Profiles for Cottages

Most cottage windows and patio doors use a Medium-Duty or Heavy-Duty profile, depending on the size of the opening. We confirm the right fit at your consultation.

Pricing

What Does It Cost?

Custom Quote
priced per property after a free consultation

Cottage pricing depends on how many openings are being covered, their sizes, the profile and motorization chosen, and the distance to the property. Covering several openings in one visit lowers the cost per opening. We provide a written quote after a free consultation.

Common Questions

Cottage Shutter FAQ

Yes. We install across cottage country in Ontario, including Muskoka, the Kawarthas, Georgian Bay, Lake Simcoe and Haliburton. Travel is included in the project quote. We typically batch cottage country trips to serve several clients in the same area, which helps keep travel costs down.
Motorized shutters can be connected to Somfy TaHoma, which adds app control and schedules. It needs power and an internet connection at the cottage. Many seasonal owners simply close every shutter with the remote on the day they leave.
Shutters can be supplied with manual operation by strap or crank. For buildings with no hydro service, solar-powered motor packages are available. Tell us how the property is powered and we will quote the right option.
Extruded aluminum slats with a powder-coated finish, running in aluminum side guides, with the curtain rolling into a housing above the opening. Aluminum is a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel or wood. Five standard colours are available, or a custom match for an additional charge.
Yes. Every shutter is made to measure. Wide openings are covered with one wide shutter or several side by side, depending on the span and the profile. See the specifications and size charts for maximum widths, or the patio door page for examples.
It depends on the property, so we quote each cottage individually. The main factors are the number of openings, their sizes, the slat profile, whether the system is motorized, and the distance to the property. Covering several openings in one visit lowers the cost per opening. Send us photos and rough sizes and we will give you a written quote after a free consultation.
