Benefits of roller shutters
Roller shutters have become increasingly popular in Australia for several reasons. Though they can carry a hefty price tag, there are many benefits to using roller shutters in your home. These can include:
Security
The number one benefit of having roller shutters is that they offer unmatched security for windows and doors. They’re secured to the house itself and the entire shutter runs inside the frames which are also secured and protected. This makes breaking open a roller shutter almost impossible.Insulation
Doors and windows are usually weak points for your home’s insulation. Roller shutters can add an extra layer of insulation which can save you the cost of double glazing or getting more expensive doors installed. They also help keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter, ultimately reducing your energy bills as there is less need to use air conditioners or heaters.Aesthetics
Australians used to be put off by the visual appearance of roller shutters. Today, improved designs, styles and coverings have revolutionised the demand for roller shutters. A large variety of powder-coated finishes and colours are available for your roller shutters. They’re also generally available in shapes that can fit in with or enhance the look of your home.Noise protection
Roller shutters offer unsurpassed sound insulation on windows and will help make your home a peaceful place away from the harsh noises of the outside world.UV protection
The sun emits strong UV rays, and with prolonged exposure, these rays are harmful to your furniture, linen and just about anything in your home. Roller shutters completely block out the UV effects of the sun - protecting your skin in the process too.
Light control
Roller shutters also allow for far better control of natural outside light. They can be raised or lowered to any level, let in dappled light, or block light completely. This lets you precisely control how much light your rooms get no matter what.
Bushfire protection
Over the last few years, Australia has felt the effects of some devastating bushfires. Modern roller shutters offer a great first line of defence against such fires, protecting your belongings and family in case of disaster.
Ease of use
Modern roller shutters have modern engineered gearing systems that are both silent and easy to roll up. There is also an option of motorised shutters making the opening and closing of your shutters easier than opening a wind.
Types of roller shutters
Generally, your roller shutter installation project will compose of 3 choices:
- Type of roller shutter: manual, automatic or battery-powered
- Installation method: Interior or exterior installation
- Special features: examples include extra insulation, cyclone tolerance, noise reduction and smart home integration
