Why cheapest shutters do not always cost the least?

When buying a new product or equipment of any kind what are the questions that you ask yourself?
  • How long before I can have it installed?
  • How fast does it operate?
  • What options are available?
These are all questions that may come to your mind but the main question that you ask yourself is;
How much does it cost?
In shutter industry specifically, price of roller shutters have to be reasonable and affordable while it doesn't scarify the As one of our customers found out the hard way this week after purchasing a fast acting roller shutter door; Cheap doesn't always cost the least. Initially the door was purchased and installed at a very competitive price from a well known roller shutter company and on the face of it was a very good deal. However, when needing to replace three lath on the curtain the quote from the manufacture was out of this world. Supplying  roller shutter parts cost more than the actual job alone!
If you have a requirement to provide security to the outdoor space of your home then Smart Shutters have a superb collection of outdoor roller shutters  and aluminium roller shutters for sale at some of the most competitive prices in the Melbourne.

Before you start to get too excited about the low electric shutters prices on offer there are a number of factors to consider when purchasing a roller shutter. However the main areas to think about initially is the space you need to secure and the style or design you prefer. By this we mean what is the dimensions  of the opening the roller shutter is to be fitted into and what design is going to best suit this space.
Consequently Smart Shutters are quoting for a full replacement door using industry standard parts and while the cost will be greater than the initial price paid previously it will be cheaper than the repair roller shutter. The greater benefit to this is that in the future, should any repairs need to be carried out they can be done so by any reputable company at a fraction of the price.

A Buyers Guide to Roller Shutters in Melbourne

Roller Shutter



The windows are one of the most important and fundamental elements of any room. So window roller shutters are the most practical way to secure residential and commercial buildings. In addition, electric roller shutters for windows can be installed on any existing window or door. More and more homeowners are discovering the benefits a window roller shutter has to offer. Fully rolled down, a window roller shutter not only protects against natural disasters, but protects against burglars and intruders, lowers energy costs, reduces outside noise levels and gives greater privacy. Made from foam filled aluminum, the window roller shutter rides in tracks mounted on the side of the window. The shutter can be raised or lowered either manually, or electronically.


A roller shutter can be installed built-on or built-in; a built-on is installed on the exterior of the building and the shutter box is visible from the outside whereas a built-in is built into the lintel and the shutter box is hidden from view. Built-on can be seen as a lower cost option as there is not as much work involved in installing the shutter to the exterior of the property. Built on shutters can be also installed in between or inside the openings.


Built-in give all the benefits of easily operated security at night, but by day disappear leaving the building looking aesthetically pleasing. Building the shutter box and guide rails into the wall during construction or major refurbishment achieves a neat finish and more importantly, high levels of security. They are extraordinarily easy to operate - they can be operated manually or with the help of an electric motor.

Advantages of window roller shutters:


• Protection against vandalism and burglary


• Protection looks from the outside


• Noise Insulation
