conventional external roller shutters<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

Conventional external roller shutters are made of firmly connected aluminium<\/strong> (or plastic) slats. Plastic is cheaper, but also more fragile and less durable. Aluminium roller shutters, ideally in an insulated version, are clearly a better solution.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

They keep heat out and can handle wind<\/h3>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

External roller shutters (especially those made of aluminium) have excellent thermal insulation properties<\/strong>. When closed, you create a barrier that will not let heat in the summer or cold in the winter reach the window pane (and thus the interior). A light-coloured roller shutter, for example, lets only 2.6% of the sun\u2019s energy into the room when drawn.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

In addition, roller shutters are so tough that they can withstand even very strong winds<\/strong>. At the same time, they are quiet because the wind does not disturb the firmly connected slats.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Serves as a safety feature and noise barrier<\/h3>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

A drawn aluminium roller shutter also insulates noise<\/strong> well and makes it difficult for thieves to gain access at night or when you are away. There is also a lock in the bottom rail <\/strong>that locks the roller shutter so that it cannot be pulled up by force.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

If you live on a busy road or have windows facing a busy pavement, aluminium roller shutters will give you greater peace and privacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

It will completely darken the room and block the view out<\/h3>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

An advantage for some, a disadvantage for others \u2013 closed roller shutters create almost absolute darkness<\/strong> in the room. You will appreciate this at night or in the evening if you want privacy. People who need to sleep during the day between night shifts often go for roller shutters.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Unfortunately, you can\u2019t see out<\/strong> through closed roller shutters, which can be depressing for some during the day. People then tend not to use the roller shutters, despite the heat entering the room.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
