Types of Shutters

Aluminium Shutters

They also offer the following benefits:

  • Security and privacy
  • Waterproof
  • Durability
  • Cost-effective
  • Has plenty of customisation options from colours, sizings and designs including perspex panels

If you’re looking to improve the functionality and security of your veranda, patio or garage, our Aluminium and Perspex roller shutters are the perfect solution. These shutters not only offer top-notch protection and privacy, but they also allow for optimal visibility, making them ideal for living. Our Aluminium roller shutters, in particular, provide durability and strength, while seamlessly fitting into standard-size head boxes for a sleek and modern finish.

Our roller shutters are three times stronger than the industry standard with advanced insulation technology to ensure better insulation, strength and quality noise reduction, unlike standard aluminium shutters.

Other Types of Roller Shutters

Although aluminium roller shutters are our specialty, there are other types of shutters available on the market.

  • Wood Shutters – No longer used as they are prone to warping, due to wood being easily distorted by moisture.
  • Metal Shutters – They are notable for their durability and security but can be heavy and difficult to operate. Not suitable for domestic uses.
  • PVC Shutters – PVC shutters are a more affordable option than wood or metal shutters, but they can be less durable and may not look as stylish.
  • Vinyl Shutters – Vinyl shutters are a synthetic alternative to wood shutters, but they can be prone to fading and cracking over time.
