Advantages of Roller Shutters

Break-in Protection

The main benefit of electric roller shutters is that they provide security to your home from intruders. They will have a hard time removing security roller shutters as the motorised rolling shutters are very closely fitted to the door or window and cannot be pulled away without a great deal of effort. As well as being an excellent physical deterrent, they are also a brilliant visual deterrent as would-be intruders see the shutters and decide that it’s not worth the effort of trying to gain entry to your home. We at Rollers R Us use Flange Tracks (Guide Rails) where the intruders never see the screws once the shutter is in a closed position.

This gives you more security from intruders as it becomes a physical deterrent for the intruders. Our quality roller shutters in Melbourne protect your home and family against threats such as burglary and vandalism by making it difficult for intruders to access your windows and doors. Once the roller shutter is in the closed position, it’s nearly impossible for intruders to gain entry.

Sun Protection

We use foam-filled electric roller shutters which stops 70% of the heat coming into the house on hot days and 60% of the heat escaping out of the house in winter times. The foam is made of Polyurethane. We use these external roller shutters only made in Australia, whereas other companies showcase Chinese-made roller shutters as Australian-made. With the window roller shutters installed on the windows, the sun hits directly to the roller shutter, not the window glass. Although the roller shutter curtain gets heated up, the gap between the roller shutter and the window and with the air circulation within, less heat transfers from roller shutter to the window glass. The window glass heats up less and the house never gets very hot. This way you save on energy bills.
