Sun screens and roll-down shutters

Yesterday our house was upgraded with sun screens and roll-down shutters. I'm sure that in a few weeks we will think 'now why didn't we do this years ago'. It took the workmen only five hours to attach them.


There are some more pictures here.

So, you just push a button and the shutter rolls down?

I like this idea, a lot. We have two big upstairs windows that face west and get the hot sun all afternoon. Really heats those rooms up. Can you give me a brand name for these?

@Phil: yes, we have a wireless remote and can control each separate screen and shutter. I can give you the brand name, but I don't know if it will be of much help as it's a dutch brand: Floris (http://www.florisobdam.nl/). I'm sure you can find local suppliers, although it looks like most are about hurricane protection (our main goal is sun protection).
