Reasons Why Roller Shutters are Better than Drapes or Blinds
There are many practical reasons to choose roller shutters over drapes, curtains, or blinds. High-quality shutters provide houses and commercial spaces a certain appeal not often achieved by other window treatments.
Moreover, the real advantage of installing shutters is its additional security from natural and human-induced threats. It is a cost-effective measure to improve the safety and protection of your home. Some of the other benefits of having a roller shutter include:
- Weather protection
- Privacy
- Noise reduction

This type of window treatment helps you save on energy consumption by regulating the temperature of your living environment. As a result, it reduces your energy expenditure by as much as 60%
Roller Shutters for Commercial Spaces and Industrial Buildings
Commercial roller shutters are ideally used in commercial and industrial spaces, including shopping malls and warehouses, because they can be fitted based on the requirements. Also, shutters provide the ideal security because they are equipped with locking bolds and security systems.
These roll-downs are manufactured with the highest standards using galvanised metal or steel, making them the perfect choice for maximum security. Roller shutters are also known for their flexibility and structural strength.
Industrial shutters undergo tests to ensure their structural integrity is uncompromised. These tests guarantee their resistance to corrosion, bending, or cracking. New technologies also offer this commercial-quality aperture with noiseless operations, energy-efficient functions, and compliance with the industry’s technical standards.
Common Problems with Shutter Rollers
Material-wise, roller shutters are incredibly durable. However, like any other mechanical contraption, they also sustain damage, dents, or splits. It happens because of different elements or general wear.
These problems with your roll-downs are often minor issues that are easily and quickly fixed. But, when problems affecting the integrity of your roller shutters happen, you need to get the help of a professional.
Some of the most common issues that require the need for a technician include:
-
- Structural damage. Your roller shutters’ general wear and tear is natural and should be expected in the long run. Minor dents or dings are typically not an issue unless the structural integrity of your shutters is compromised.
- Overheating motor. If you have an automatic roll-up, you might experience an overheating issue. This type of problem often prevents the doors from working correctly.
- Shutters are not smoothly gliding when being opened. Bumpy roll-downs when being opened mean debris or dirt accumulation, causing the track to become jerky when being opened.
- Shutters only open halfway. When your shutters stop mid-way when opening, it is usually a problem with the proximity sensor. When it happens, either the shutters are damaged, or it needs replacement.
Getting problems with your roll-downs means having it inspected for possible issues that might affect its structural integrity in the long run. You will need a certified roller shutters repair in Melbourne with a trusted name.
