Providing privacy, sun control, weather protection and security, the ISLANDER aluminum shutters are not only functional but attractive for commercial applications such as banks, schools, and other institutions. Since our traditional design is more attractive than ordinary industrial louvers, imaginative architects and engineers are continually creating new arrangements. You can design new building exteriors or reface existing facades. The ISLANDER is manufactured in standard production sizes or can be custom-made to your exact requirements. See "Willard Aluminum Colors/Properties" Showcase for ISLANDER color chart.

Quality built to withstand the most extreme environmental conditions such as hurricanes, salt air and high humidity, the energy saving ISLANDER aluminum shutters are ideal for use on homes, apartments, condominiums and townhouses. Also as a sun control device, the ISLANDER is highly effective in reducing solar heat build-up over windows, porches, carports and other areas. Especially practical to cover sliding glass doors and to enclose terraces, patios, and balconies.
