Roller shutters are a type of window treatment that is not only practical but is also attractive, durable, and secure. When making a selection for roller shutters, you can choose from security roller shutters and sun shade types of solutions.
An Economical and Efficient Way to Enjoy Added Privacy and Security
Security roller shutters are designed for domestic and bushfire protection. For example, residential domestic roller shutters are made to use on windows, doors with alcoves, and skylights. This type of roller shutter design is an economical and efficient way to give your house the privacy and security that you desire.
By instituting this type of upgrade, you will experience warmer winters and cooler summers without having to pay extra for energy. Plus, this type of window, skylight, or door treatment gives you enhanced protection against, noise, intruders, and UV rays. In bush fire areas, you also are safeguarded against flying debris.
Some of the Product’s Features
This type of system is made up of an architecturally strong aluminium construction that is comprised of a high-density polyurethane type of core for added insulation and strength. In addition, the product is layered in an abrasive- and fade-resistant enamel.
In order to ensure the durability of these window roller shutters and doors, an anti-corrosive primer is applied on both sides of a chromate and cleaned coil. Afterwards, two layers of a polyamide paint are applied to the outside surface. This paint makes the product stand up to abrasion. You can choose from as many as 15 colours, which typically satisfies the most discriminating preferences.
How Manual Shutters Are Operated
In most cases, a security roller shutter can be operated manually. If your home is made of a brick veneer, cladding, or weatherboard, the winch control for the product is installed into a stud wall’s cavity. Afterwards, it is covered with a faceplate that permits the operator to add a handle inside the winch and rotate and control the shutter.
When a home is made of a double brick façade, it will either require a bespoke designed solid brick winch or recessed winch, depending on the type of cavity in which the winch is placed. Strap winches are also available for manual operation; they feature handles and are used on smaller windows or in areas where the space is limited.
If the roller shutter is larger in size, it can be made in a motorised design with a tubular motor. All you need with this design is to press a switch or use a remote control device. When making a selection for a roller shutter product, you want to take a look at the specifications with respect to the curtain, ventilation, light control, and side guides. You also want to review the design of the device with respect to its drum, bottom rail, locking mechanism, and type of operation.
Some roller shutter treatments that feature motorisation come with a manual override and battery-type backup. That way, you can be assured that your shutter will provide you with continued service.
