External Roller Shutters
Shields of this type are used in single-family homes and apartments.
Among the range of advantages of external roller shutter, customers most often pay attention to their impact on saving energy used to heat the house and thus reduce maintenance costs.
Before making a final decision, it is important to identify and choose the right external roller shutter model. Installation of some models is only possible at a specific stage of construction and requires consideration in the design of the building. We offer several types of external roller shutters.
Having external roller shutters has many benefits:
- Energy-saving and thermal insulation of the building prevents excessive sunlight exposure in the rooms in the summer and in winter contributes to significant savings of heat energy and consequently, reduces energy bills.
- Protection of windows from sun, wind, rain, snow, and other weather conditions. A closed roller shutter will reduce color fading, which is significant for carpentry mounted in places of intense sunlight.
- Increased sound insulation and a noticeable reduction in noise levels in rooms with closed shutters.
- An increase of house anti-burglary qualities and the sense of security of the household - roller shutters, even those without an anti-burglary classification, will definitely make it difficult to force the window.
- Possibility to adjust room lighting according to current needs.
- Guarantee full privacy and protection from the curious eyes of neighbors.
How to choose the right external roller shutters system?
One of the important factors determining the choice of the best roller shutter system for our home is the stage at which external roller shutters are installed. The comfort of residents can be considered at the design stage of a building. Installation of top-mounted external roller shutters or flush-mounted external roller shutters should be planned during the design stage of the house or should be decided before ordering windows at the latest. This allows you to plan the appropriate dimensions of window niches and improves subsequent installation work. Installation of exterior roller shutters is also possible in existing buildings, like during their modernization or replacement of open joinery. Then the flush-mounted roller shutters are the perfect solution. Their simple construction and installation directly into the window frame greatly accelerate the project.
The second important element is installing the roller shutter box. Depending on the system, it can be located on the side of the facade or in the window opening. It is also possible to mount the roller shutter box on the outside of the window, under the facade's surface, so that this element becomes invisible.
