I've seen them up north and I think they're a good fit there. I suspect (not sure) that they aren't as strong as single piece shutters and here on the Gulf coast it might make a difference. Noting here that I prefer typical shutters over rolldown protection. Hinged shutters are great to reduce light and the winds that rolldown are good for can lift off (gable strapped) roofs.
