How Do Roller Shutters Work

The roller shutters we install are interconnected insulated strips of double layered aluminium. Roller shutters not only look great when installed they also act as a deterrent offering greater protection against would-be intruders.

Roller shutters work by sliding or rolling up and down through tracks (these are also referred to as guide channels) when rolled up the slats fit into a small box above the door.

Typically we will install the box inside the door this referred to as an internal face fix other fixes can be achieved however this is the most secure.

When the shutters are rolled down, they fit firmly against the floor of your garage making them highly secure.
