THE PROS OF SHUTTER SYSTEM
Practical roller shutters
What makes roller Shutter Systems so successful is of course their practicality. No need to open the window (and therefore let the cold into the house) when you close your shutters: with this system, everything is done from the inside. Different types of closures can be considered: strap, crank or electric. Note that this last model is more and more widespread and allows you to control the closing of your shutter by switch or remote control. In the event of renovation, installation is very simple, by adding a safe integrated into the switchboard or by fixing it to the facade if the configuration does not allow the safe to be installed (we will then speak of an apparent safe).
New aesthetic models
Very discreet when open, roller shutters allow you to disappear in favor of your facade . When they are closed, however, aesthetics have not always been there: roller shutters are often associated with gray PVC models which have largely invaded our homes. However, there are now new models, in all colors, which allow you to personalize your shutters by giving them a decorative touch. Finally, some models with adjustable slats eliminate the need to choose between shutters.and roller shutters. These systems, many of them motorized, are perfect for regulating light and ventilation in your home. Thanks to several positions, the slats adapt to your needs: privacy, light or ventilation, in addition to being very contemporary and aesthetic!
Insulating and secure shutters
In terms of insulation (the latter of course depends on the quality of the materials chosen), the roller shutter is positioned at the top of the basket. It ensures good sound and thermal insulation of your home. PVC models insulate better than Diy Aluminum Shutters ones, unless the slats have reinforced insulation. Safety is also there, with additional guarantees on many models such as the anti-lift system.
Economical roller shutters
For tight budgets, manual PVC models are perfect (from $ 50). Aluminum, a little more expensive (count 150 $), is on the other hand more resistant to time and does not require maintenance. Be careful to choose an insulated aluminum model if you are looking for energy performance. Motorized models, on the other hand, remain much more affordable than those for swing shutters and will resist wear and tear (from $ 200). These will be more resistant over time (reduced risk of wear or mishandling) and models that work with solar energy can save you money even if they are far more expensive to purchase.
