Shutters
Shutters double as a good security mechanism as one can lock your house up with a single click. They block out the light and keep your house warm in winter and cool in summer. One can couple up your shutters to your home automation system or program them to open and close at certain times of day easily and quickly by remote. We do two types of shutters namely, roller and swing shutters.
Roller shutter
The popularity of roller shutters keeps increasing. Thanks to the variety in which they are produced it is possible to use aluminium roller shutters for any type and shape of windows. Roller shutters offer excellent security. They protect against heat loss and provide insulation from sound as well as block out nearly 100% light. The aluminium roller shutters protect window from the elements increasing their durability. The roller shutters are secured with a special spring against lifting. Roller shutters can be motor-operated or manually operated.
Swing Shutter
Shutters are made either from aluminium or PVC. The aluminium shutters are great for security and temperature control. Shutters are made from aluminium, wood or PVC.
