They are almost in any Spanish house too, and I've sorely missed them everywhere. In Denmark, Sweden and the UK.
Rolling shutters are great against summer heat, but IMHO their biggest advantage is the ability to let you have a totally dark room for optimal sleep.
They are also really good at preventing thermal leaks during very cold weather, and provide extra protection against storms and hail. Lastly, really good shutters can be locked into window frames to keep thieves away.
I don't understand why they are not more popular. Coupled with mosquito nets, they are a really convenient and energy-efficient all-weather solution.
