Why choose roller shutters?
Roller shutters have been among the most popular forms of external sun shading for years, and not without reason. They combine several benefits in a single product.
The benefits of roller shutters
With roller shutters you have up to 90% less solar radiation coming in, more privacy and extra protection from prying eyes. They black out the bedroom, provide extra insulation in summer and winter, reduce noise, make a break-in take longer and protect your windows from the weather.
During hot summers in particular, many homeowners notice the difference straight away. Because the sun is blocked before it reaches the glass, the indoor temperature stays considerably lower.
Manual, electric or solar roller shutters?
Modern roller shutters are available in various versions. You operate manual roller shutters with a strap winder or a crank handle. This solution is inexpensive to buy, but is chosen less and less these days.
You operate electric roller shutters with a switch, remote control or smartphone. They offer more comfort and are suitable for almost any home.
Aluminium or PVC roller shutters?
For quality roller shutters, aluminium is almost always the material of choice. It is light, strong and dimensionally stable, low-maintenance and weather-resistant, and it has a long service life.
PVC is used only to a limited extent these days. It is less strong, more prone to warping and generally has a shorter service life. For homes in Limburg, insulated aluminium slats are therefore usually chosen.
Which brands are reliable?
Not every roller shutter is the same: the quality of the slats, motor, guide rails and finish differs from one manufacturer to another. Brands known for their quality include Heroal, Verano, Somfy (motorisation), Becker and Nice.
Heroal in particular is known for its high-quality aluminium profiles and durable finish. That is why these systems are widely used in homes where quality and service life come first.
Are solar roller shutters reliable?
Yes. Modern solar roller shutters are designed to work without problems for years. Even on cloudy days the solar panel produces enough energy to keep the battery charged, so the roller shutters work reliably in the winter months too. That is why more and more homeowners are deliberately choosing a solar solution.
Smart control and automation
Modern roller shutters can work fully automatically. Using smart systems, they open and close by themselves, according to a schedule or based on the temperature. You can also operate them remotely and have them work together with other smart devices, which means more comfort and lower energy consumption.
