Security roller shutters can provide peace of mind whether you are installing them for your home or business. These shutters provide protection from a number of hazards, including storms, break-ins, and vandalism. They are made to order so that they fit perfectly into any space you have in mind.

 

Security Shutter Benefits

Security shutters can be made to fit large spaces or small and depending on the type you choose, provide various other benefits as well. The following are some of the most common benefits of and uses for security shutters.

• Security – Let’s start with the obvious; they are called security shutters for a reason. They help protect your property against break-ins and vandalism as well as from harsh storms that may potentially break a window or cause other damage.
• Insulation – In addition to providing you with added security, insulated shutters also help to maintain temperature levels and may even end up saving you money on your utility bills. Insulated shutters have polyurethane cores and therefore help to reduce heat loss.
• Light reduction – Roller shutters are a great option when you want to eliminate light completely. For example, shift workers may have difficulty sleeping during the day because of too much light flooding into the home from the outside. Using roller shutters might just allow you to get a better sleep in between shifts.
• Noise reduction – Just like they block out the light, roller shutters can also block out a significant amount of outside noise.
• Cottage closures – When people think of roller shutters, they typically think about getting them for their home or business. But security roller shutters are also excellent for cottages, helping to keep them safe and secure during the off season. No more wondering if your cottage windows survived that last winter storm!

With this versatility, it means that no matter what style of décor your home has or what size windows were previously installed you can find roll shutters that will work for your home. If you still aren’t sold on the idea of roll shutters here are some benefits to help you decide if they are a good choice for your home.

 

Keep it Quiet

If you live in a busy neighbourhood, or maybe the kids in your area just make a whole lot of noise, you might find yourself wishing for a quieter home. Roll shutters – when closed over the windows and doors – can help keep noise out of your home and give you a more relaxing and calm environment.

Lower the Bills

Having roll shutters can increase the efficiency of your home by keeping the heat inside during the winter, and outside during the hot summer months. By keeping the temperature controlled and even, you will notice a decrease in the utility bills since your home’s heating and cooling won’t have to work as hard to heat up or cool down the same area.

Keep the Windows for Longer

Having roll shutters will help to maintain your windows which means a noticeable amount of time will extend the lifetime of your windows. They will also keep them looking super clean by keeping dirt and debris off the windows.

Options, Options, Options

Roll shutters are designed to open and close to let a lot or a little light in, but how you achieve that is totally up to you. Some roll shutters are operated via remote; some are done automatically (on a timer), and others are controlled manually. The options for how you achieve your desired result are completely endless – plus the styles and colours to choose from make it that much better.

Affordable Window Covering Option

Sometimes drapes and curtains can be incredibly expensive, depending on the size of your windows and the style you’re looking for. Roll shutters are an affordable option to many of the window treatments available out there, especially if you prefer to not have any drapes or curtains on your windows when you want the sun shining in.

Control the Light

Sometimes you want the sun shining in, and sometimes you don’t. You might even want to have a little bit of light during the day without the full sun shining in. With roll shutters, you can control the amount of sun you allow into your house at any given time.

Protect Your Home

In areas that are prone to harsh weather – storms, hurricanes or blizzards – roll shutters can work as protection. By closing the shutters, they will prevent windows from being shattered or debris coming through the windows.

Roll shutters add both style and function to your home, and they can replace expensive window treatments should you decide you don’t want that as an option for your home. No matter what your style is, there are so many options for colour and type that will suit your home.

Roll shutters were a product that came to us from Europe in the 80’s and are now enjoyed by Canadians everywhere. Rollshutters come in many different styles and are designed to do what regular indoor blinds do but with a few added features. Rollshutters will help to protect your home from the cold and heat and add a degree of security.

 

Windows and doors that have rollshutters installed on them will have a longer lifespan because of the protection that rollshutters give. If you love your big picture window but sometimes feel like you live in a fishbowl, a rollshutter will help as you can let the sunshine in or shut out the world when you want to.

If you’ve made the investment into rollshutters for your home, be sure to clean them two – three times a year. This will not only keep your roll shutters looking good but will give you the opportunity to inspect them and make any necessary repairs.

Step 1 – Raise the Rollshutter

Start by raising the shutter completely. Using a soft brush, clean out the area around the guides. Do this gently so as not to disturb any parts. Keeping the guides clear of dirt and grime will ensure that your roll shutters operate smoothly.

Step 2 – Close the Rollshutter

Next, close the shutter all the way and then raise it up just enough so that there is a little room between the slats. Brush away any dirt and dust that may have settled there over time.

Step 3 – Sponge Off

Completely close the rollshutter again. Grab a sponge and bucket with warm water and a mild detergent. Be sure not to use steel wool or any other abrasive materials on the shutter as steel wool may scratch your shutters. Wipe the rollshutter down, starting at the top and working your way to the bottom.

Step 4 – Rinse Off Rollshutter

Grab a hose and without a lot of pressure, rinse the rollshutter off. Be careful not to get too much water on the compartment at the top that houses the motor and gears. Let the rollshutter dry fully before it is put into operation again.

A little tender loving care will go a long way in keeping your rollshutter in tip top shape so that it can continue to work hard for you and look great.

How do rollshutters work?

A rollshutter has a simple mechanism. A box which houses the shutter is installed over the window. Tracks are mounted on both sides of the window frame. They allow the shutter to slide up or down. The shutters are usually installed outside, but they are operated from the inside. Both manual and electric operating systems are available. They can be operated easily.

Benefits of rolling shutters

Rollshutters improve the energy efficiency of your home. They also make it more secure. In addition, they protect your privacy by creating a strong barrier between your home and the world outside. Modern rolling shutters are very stylish and can enhance the décor of any home.

For most home and business owners, security is the number one reason to install rolling shutters. To prevent burglars from entering your home or store, you only have to keep the rollshutters down when you are away. Keep the shutters closed and locked for added security.

Advantages of rolling shutters during the winter season

During winter you don’t want the cold air from outside to enter your home. If you keep the rollshutters closed on winter nights, you can create a nice ‘heat envelope’. This will improve the efficiency of your heating system and reduce your heating bills.

Safety tips

Follow these simple safety tips when you have rollshutters. You must not keep the shutters closed when there is an open fire inside. You should also ensure that there are some easy exits.
