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.
