Roller Shutters

Roller Shutters

A roller shutter serves many purposes other than darkening a room. It offers sun, privacy, and weather protection. Additionally, it boosts your window’s insulation, ultimately reducing energy costs.

Depending on the installation condition, you can choose an invisible top-mounted roller shutter or a modern front-mounted roller shutter.

The Best Material For Your Roller Shutter
Roller shutters primarily comprise a roller shutter box and shell, lateral guide rails, and operating parts like a belt winding machine or crank. Plastic and aluminum are usually the materials used for constructing roller shutters. Plastic shutters are often cheap and best suited for more expansive windows. In contrast, aluminum roller shutters are sturdier, easier to operate, and can resist harsh weather conditions more than awnings due to their anticorrosive nature.

Retrofitting Roller Shutters Or Outfitting New Buildings

There are a few considerations for an easy retrofitting of roller shutters. Front-mounted roller shutters are more appropriate for already-installed windows since they are easily installed outside the masonry or in the window opening.

Top-mounted roller shutters are cheaper for new buildings or main renovations where windows also require replacing. They can be fixed to the window before installation and then installed with it in one step. For this, you can also order windows with roller shutters from us.

Additional Information
Differences In Available Roller Shutter Systems
The main difference between front-mounted and top-mounted roller shutters is installation. Top-mounted roller shutters are first fixed to the window and then mounted with it. Consequently, they are best suited for new buildings or large-scale renovations involving window replacement.
On the contrary, front-mounted roller shutters fixed to the brickwork or window opening are best for retrofitting. Then, the roller shutter box blends in with the facade or serves as a design.
Beautiful Reference Objects: The roller shutter as a design for the facade
Aside from sun protection, privacy, and darkening a room, roller shutters also serve an aesthetic purpose. Our online shop has front-mounted roller shutters with various box shapes that beautify the house facade and are configurable in different colors. On the other hand, top-mounted roller shutters hide behind the brickwork and are virtually unseen.
You can configure your roller shutter in your chosen color to blend with the brickwork or as a prominent contrast with both options. Color options include trendy roller shutters like anthracite, beige, white, and brown.
Save Money And Energy
Are you involved in new construction or remodeling a house? Then, ensure to use roller shutters for your windows. The modern roller shutter has since been part of house furnishings offering many benefits beyond sun protection and room darkening.

Exterior Venetian blinds, shutters, or blinds increase the heat insulation of windows, effectively saving energy. The layer between the windowpane and the closed roller shutter poorly conducts heat, thus trapping valuable heat inside the house on cold days and saving costs.

Also, in summer, the roller shutter protects against heat, cooling the interior.
You can use top-mounted roller shutters for new buildings or remodeled ones that require window replacement.

These types are ideally specialized for this installation type and can be fixed first to the window before installing it together. This way, work is done faster, and the roller shutter box hides unseen behind the masonry.

Is Retrofitting Worth It?

Of course, windows in good condition do not require replacing when you can easily retrofit them with roller shutters. Front-mounted roller shutters – installed directly on the frame or brickwork – are ideal. The positive side is that the exterior insulation is maintained without thermal bridges.

Front-mounted and top-mounted roller shutters give you the same result in terms of thermal insulation and energy conservation. In addition, you can achieve different designs and colors for your roller shutters according to your taste.
