What to look for while buying Roller Shutters?

When making the decision to purchase roller shutters it is important to consider the quality of the product and service that will be offered throughout the lifespan of your roller shutter as roller shutters are permanently fixed once installed and, being custom made cannot be used elsewhere. The first thing to consider should be how responsive the company is to your calls, emails & chats and how fast you can get your quote as this will give you a good indication of how the business operates, if they are slow to react it will generally mean that they don’t have the right systems in place or they don’t care.

Manual roller shutters are wound up & down by people who are always in a hurry!

The speed the shutters are wound up or down can place a great deal of strain on the wires & belts, onto the pulleys and the control unit therefore reducing the lifespan of the shutter system.

An electronic shutter has a motor that operates at a constant speed and has limits set so when the limits are reached the motor stops the shutter movement gently, without load or strain on the other components and thus increasing the lifespan of the shutter system.

Also, with a strap or cable manual system, the cable must be attached on an angle, which causes strain on the diverter pulleys or winder boxes, causing more ongoing service issues for the life of your shutter.

Manual handles are also unsightly and switches are much more aesthetically pleasing in your home, require no real effort and the remotes can be hidden out of sight and away from the system entirely. Motorised, electronic shutters will increase the re sell value of your home as they are easily usable by families and people of all ages.
