A home on Nantucket, Massachusetts equipped with built-in roll shutters. Rolling Shutters are the ultimate solution when you want to protect what’s behind your windows and doors. With Rolling Shutters, enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home has a sturdy layer of hurricane protection and storm protection. Rolling shutters shield against wind-blown debris, sand blasting and water penetration. Strong, secure, and durable, our Rolling Hurricane Shutters are proven to reduce energy and maintenance costs while making your home more comfortable to live in. Hurricane Shutters Hurricane Shutters are the premier protection against snow and ice storms, driving rain, high winds, and flying debris. We have huge selection of Hurricane Protection products for all types of applications. We specialize in new construction, retrofit projects and custom applications designed around more complex installations. Hurricane Shutters protect your windows and doors from water penetration and breakage during hurricanes and Nor’easters bringing you comfort and protection. Even when you are not physically at the location of the storm, rolling shutters can offer you peace of mind. Homes and businesses not equipped with rolling shutters may experience glass breakage and door failures during high winds. Ultimately, those openings in the structure’s envelope can cause complete devastation to the home or business. Once the air pressure enters a building, no matter the type of construction, the likelihood of other windows and doors failing rises. If the pressure grows beyond a certain point, walls and and roof components begin to fail. Security Shutters Security Shutters are one of the best ways to discourage intruders from attempting to enter your home or business. This deterrent measure is just where rolling shutters start. While in the down position, rolling shutters can be locked in place by a motor, a gear, a keyed switch or by a separate locking device. Rolling Shutters have been used as security shutters all over the world for decades with incredible success. Sometimes labeled as metal shutters and metal security shutters, they all have subtle differences, and the differences can’t be seen with the rolling shutter in the down position. Security Shutters typically have end-retention pins that lock into the guide rails from the top. These pins are located throughout the entire curtain and are protected from manipulation while the curtain is in the close position. Storm Shutters Storm Shutters are the broad category of Storm Protection products. Of course, they come in all types of sizes, features and functionality. We have a full line of rolling shutters, hinged storm shutters and storm panels for you to to explore on our website or we would love for you to swing by one of our showrooms to see live demo models. Storm Shutters are specifically engineered and designed for high hinds, flying debris protection and ultimately given a rating for Hurricane Protection. A little known fact: The most damaging type of wind value is not the force of the wind blowing directly on your home. This force is called positive pressure, and typically, many believe this is the strongest force against their home or business. Believe it or not, the negative pressure, or, the air passing by your windows and doors, has far greater power. Many low-grade storm shutters and hurricane protection products fail under this pressure. Solar Shutters Solar Shutters have a double wall construction and filled with a specialized polyurethane foam designed to increase R-factor and deflect solar penetration. Many rolling shutters can perform this function, but not all are created equal. The energy efficiency of exterior rolling shutters is up to 95% more effective than interior solar shades. Solar Shutters have many unique and positive “side effects” from their dense foam-filled curtain profile. Many homeowners have taken advantage of energy savings by using these types of rolling shutters in both the summer and winter seasons. Reducing heating and air conditioning expenses throughout the entire year is not always our first thought, but many home and business owners have expressed massive savings. Not only do they block up to 90% of heat gain and loss, they also provide incredible noise control opportunities. Privacy Shutters Privacy Shutters are a great way to close of areas of your home or business from others. Some rolling shutters are equipped with perforations allowing ambient light to pass through when needed. Privacy Shutters have many uses and are creatively used throughout the world in homes and businesses for all kinds of reasons. Close off food preparation areas, work shops, stock rooms, gun safes, closets, liquor cabinets and bars. Some business owners use rolling shutters to close off the outside world after working hours, to protect the last few employees as they finish money counts, paperwork, and prepare bank deposits.

When you see the before photos of this kitchen, the finished product is nearly unrecognizable! This is because the original kitchen was 10x10, and wall separated the kitchen area from the eating area. Opening up the 2 spaces was exactly what this new kitchen needed! Since the dining area was directly adjacent to the family room, the designer at Advance Design created a low wall of matching decorative book case cabinets with a granite top to create separation needed between the spaces. This bank also eloquently held a beautifully wood appointed supporting column necessary for the structural ceiling load. The focal point of the new kitchen is the hand-painted backsplash centered under a wooden hood in the chef’s special cooking area. A completely functional island now has space for several stools, and even has a decorative touch with the shelving unit facing the eating area. The space next to the refrigerator became an efficiently organized bill paying area for the lady of the house, complete with pull out file drawers hidden behind matching kitchen cabinets. Replacing the “black hole” of a pantry; pull out shelves grace the interior of new pantry units suitable for the family of five busy people. Existing hardwood oak was repaired and refinished on the entire first floor. A light patterned gold granite works effortlessly with the tumbled marble backsplash that enjoys hints of weathered iron looking details that coordinate nicely with the cabinetry hardware. What makes this kitchen special is how elegant it appears despite the rustic feel of the knotty alder cabinetry. Clean design lines lend an air of sophistication to the otherwise “rustic” looking materials. Now this active family can enjoy the open space, cooking and hanging out together is now an enjoyable pastime.

Chicagoland Home Products showed a Lincolnshire homeowner how to eliminate expense on their custom closet without looking as if cost was even a consideration. Often, backer panels are used in an application like this so you can’t look through the installation and see the walls. By painting the wall in this space to match the color of the system instead, there was no need for the panels. As you can see in the pictures, the illusion of an attached back wall is very realistic. The savings on the project is real too! The African Walnut finish, which is just one of many choices, provides depth and power to the master closet. Raised Panel fronts contribute to the richness of this design as do the Chateau handles. This custom designed closet also features ample hanging space, convenient open shelves and two drawer banks with doors above the drawer tiers. The area here is not the ubiquitous rectangular shape and underscores the value of how Chicagoland Home Products can custom design what you need to maximize the potential of your storage and closet space. The synergy developed when your great ideas are combined with the expertise of CHP staff consistently yields results that are greater than the sum of the parts. The ultimate judge of the project is when it provides years of function and beauty but, getting there can be half the fun as clients and consultants work together and discover that collaboration is one of the keys to success.

Karen used GenStone's Coffee Stacked Stone to replace her outdated home siding, and the renovations upgraded the home’s curb appeal, adding character to the house without breaking the bank.

We’re frequently asked to make a space to more, as with this office in a Chicago high-rise condo, that also needed to be a guest room. Two things we knew were crucial - a built-in desk, and a hidden wall bed. Around those mainstays we added two banks of drawers and two levels of shelving, along with a cubby for a small TV or display storage. Finished in white with crown and base molding, this storage system easily pulls double duty and looks good doing it!

Did your home come with odd angles that you’re just not quite sure how to fill? Well, we’ve never heard of a home with too much storage, so let us help you create custom storage in those spaces! This home in Lincolnwood, IL had some rooms with a lower ceiling height, combined with some funky angles (Chicago Bungalow, anyway?). We were able to provide a solution to better utilize the available spaces. In one location, we installed two built-in desks, connected by an under window storage bench, finished in slate. In the other location we added built-in shelf and drawer banks flanking a widow, along with an addition under window storage bench, finished in white.

Ka selected GenStone's Iron Ore Stacked Stone to update the outdated siding on their building. The siding transformation significantly upped the curb appeal of the building, adding character to it without breaking the bank.
