Roller shutters are mostly known to provide added security and protection to your home. However, there are many other practical and fundamental benefits roller shutters can offer, which can also improve your lifestyle. By installing roller shutters, you can sleep easy anytime of day and help keep your family safe and secure. With a sleek design and many colours to choose from, you can also increase the aesthetics of your home.

Read on to discover how roller shutters offer the perfect security solution, as well as light, noise, and temperature control for your home.

1. Reduce light and noise

Do you live on a busy road and struggle to get a good night’s sleep? Or perhaps you’re a shift worker and find it difficult to sleep during the day? These are a couple of the many reasons to consider installing roller shutters to your windows.

Due to their structure and functionality, roller shutters are an effective way to reduce the amount of noise and light from entering your room. Roller shutters are generally made from thick, durable materials, such as steel and aluminum, fitted as closely to your windows as possible. They consist of multiple interlocking horizontal slats that are hinged together to form an external covering.

Featuring a roll up and down system, you can raise or lower your shutters with ease, darkening your room any time of day. With this functionality you’re also able to block out loud noises from the street, so you can sleep soundly whatever the time. This is particularly beneficial if you have a bedroom facing a main road; roller shutters allow you to create the perfect sleep environment.

Thanks to their noise and light cancelling abilities, you can improve your sleep quality and enjoy peace and quiet by simply adding roller shutters to your windows.

2. Temperature control and insulation

In addition to noise and light reduction, roller shutters also provide better insulation and temperature control. To combat the harsh Australian climate, we tend to rely heavily on air conditioning or heating to maintain a comfortable temperature inside our home. This can translate to significantly higher energy costs as your heating or cooling system must work harder to keep the house at an ambient temperature.

Roller shutters give you greater temperature control so you and your family can enjoy a more comfortable environment, while also reducing your energy bills at the same time. Filled with a special insulative compound, roller shutters are highly effective in regulating an ambient temperature in your home, allowing for better airflow into your house.

When installed securely, roller shutters completely cover the window and any gaps in the frame around them. This means they can reduce the amount of hot air entering your house through your windows. This coupled with the insulation inside the shutter means you can keep the temperature inside your home exactly where you want it. Simply raise the roller shutters to let fresh air stream through your windows, or close to keep your space warm and cosy.

Ultimately, roller shutters are the perfect insulation solution as they allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature with less reliance on heating and cooling devices. Best of all, because of their excellent insulation properties and thick aluminium slats, roller shutters are a great way to save money on your energy bills.

3. Added security and protection

Roller shutters are designed to increase the level of security and protection of your home. Due to their robust build, roller shutters add an extra protective barrier against extreme weather and potential theft. This will give you piece of mind knowing your home is safe when you leave the house or go away on holiday. Although it can’t be guaranteed that roller shutters will completely stop a thief gaining access to your home, it will act as an additional security measure.

Do you live in a bushfire prone area? CSIRO fire-rated approved roller shutters are the preferred option for providing considerable safety against radiant heat and amber attacks from bushfires. It’s important to note that roller shutters are not fireproof and therefore will not prevent your home from being damaged in a bushfire. However, roller shutters offer your home a level of protection that uncovered windows will not. Roller shutters can also help to prevent branches, and other debris smashing windows in the event of a bushfire.

4. Style and operation options

Modern or traditional, roller shutters offer a stylish look for the exterior of your home. Available in a wide variety of colours and designs, you can choose a style to perfectly complement your home. To make statement, introduce a secondary colour to your façade by adding a contrasting highlight.

Roller shutters also come in a range of operating systems to suit your needs and preferences. This includes manual and remote-controlled operation for ease of use. Manually operated shutters can be easily opened and closed with a strap winch or strap coiler, whereas motorised operation can be controlled via remote control or a mobile app from the comfort of anywhere in your house.
