Roller Shutter Curtain

Roller shutter curtain is one of the most versatile types of door products available. This is because a roller shutter can be built to size and takes up very little space above or outside an opening, allowing it to secure the area whilst being easy to access by foot or vehicle. Roller shutters can be used on almost any size of the opening and come in a large variety of surface finishes, slat types and levels of strength and security.

The curtain of a shutter consists of metal slats that run up and down a set of guides on either side of the opening. They can be made from steel or aluminium and a wide choice of colours is offered. Guide rails are fitted with rigid hanger clips that hold the curtain slats securely and reduce operating noise. They can be recessed or fitted with a cover to enhance the appearance of your shutter. A range of control options are also available, from a simple cranked handle to an electric motor drive for automatic operation.

Roller Shutter Curtain: A Key Component of Fire Protection Systems

Insulated shutters offer great thermal separation and are perfect for modern retrofitting into existing homes or commercial premises. The thermal barrier between the curtain and the building wall improves energy efficiency by keeping the warm air inside where it should be and reducing cold drafts from the external window or door opening.

uPVC roller shutters are also extremely robust and provide good burglary protection. They have good noise insulation too, as the polyurethane in each slat offers two-way sound absorption so you can enjoy quieter evenings and less disturbance from the noise of traffic or neighbours.
