Operations of Window Roller Shutters
Manual Control Operation
In Manual control Operation; the Winders (Short winch or Long Winch) are used to move the roller shutter curtain up & down. The Winder sits inside the wall cavity so you don’t see the winder outside on the wall except for a plate and a small handle for the movement of the roller shutters. We at Roller Shutters R US use Stafer Winders which are made in Italy and are of the highest quality. The way we install the winders, we are very confident that jobs done by our company would never be called in for repairs.
Motorised Control Operation
Tubular Motors are used in roller shutter to move them up & down. These motors are adjusted by a limit switch. These motors have got a special safety switch feature. If the motor gets very hot, the switch cuts off the power and turns itself ON again once the motor has cooled down. Generally, it’s 4 minutes. We at Roller Shutters R US use only heavy-duty 40 nm Tubular Motors at the cheapest prices. We also have short motors which can fit on windows from size 350mm to 600m long. All our Tubular motors come with a 5 years replacement warranty at no charge to you under normal conditions. We do switch motors as well as remote control motors.
Remote Control Operation
This is an upgrade to the switch operated electric window shutters. The shutter is still powered by a motor that’s wired to the main power of the house. But instead of a switch on the wall, the shutter operates from a remote which lets you control the window security shutters from virtually anywhere in the house.
When choosing electric window roller shutters for your Melbourne home, it’s advisable to have a combination of motorised and remote control shutters. For specific rooms such as your bedroom, a remote control mechanism is bound to come in handy. Remote control operated shutters also work well in commercial settings where it offers a more convenient alternative to manual operation types.
Spring Loaded Operation
This is similar to a manual control operation. It comes with a key lock and handle on the bottom bar that lets you move the shutter up and down. The upside of a spring load window security shutter is that it functions without power and you can lock the shutter when needed. This type of operation is ideally suited for bars, canteens, shops, garages, sheds and other similar places.
