The panels are hinged along a horizontal portion of the opening such that at least one of the panels can be utilized as an awning when open. The panel(s) have an insulating core that typically provides thermal insulation from the elements and increases fire resistance from fires (such as bushfires) to provide a fire rated shutter that meets the highest building fire standards.
