Do you plan to change the windows and shutters in your house or apartment? Have you thought about the option of roller shutters? Practical and secure, the roller shutter unit integrated into the window will suit your renovation or construction project. We tell Australian Plantation Shutters  you why and how to choose it.

Why install roller shutters at the same time as your new windows?

By thinking about this option upstream of your project, you will save time by simplifying the installation of your windows. You will also save money by opting for the simultaneous purchase of a window unit and integrated roller shutter pack. So better think about it from the start.

The advantages of the integrated roller shutter unit

The installation of an integrated roller shutter unit is both simple and quick. It adapts to all windows, whether in PVC, wood, or aluminum. Its fool proof waterproofing provides real comfort. The connection between the window and the roller shutter allows nothing to pass: neither water nor wind. Easy to open and close, everyday use becomes child's play. To handle it, there are various manual, practical and economical maneuvering options (strap or crank) or, more comfortable, the electric maneuver which controls the roller shutter with a single gesture.

The roller shutter also raises the level of security thanks to its anti-lifting system which prevents intrusions and accidental raising of the apron. Ditto with the electric maneuver: the motor stops as soon as it detects an obstacle. There is therefore no risk of damaging the roller shutter or its mechanism. Resistant to sunlight and corrosion, its strength is maximum: an integrated roller shutter is tested over 10,000 opening / closing cycles, which is equivalent to approximately 20 years of use.

On the decorative side, the integrated roller shutter is not to be outdone. It is available in various materials ( wood , PVC , Aluminium Shutters and composite), to suit your desires and your budget. To personalize it, it takes advantage of a wide range of colors to achieve multiple variations to your liking. For example, you can harmonize the color of the trunk inside with that of your opening.

The PVC Shutter box is available in white or brown. Perfectly insulated and fitted with an inspection hatch, it is available in 2 heights: 165 mm or 205 mm.

The anti-lift system integrated into the shutter prevents the curtain from rising. A manual lock blocks the strap operations and the roller shutter unit is integral with the joinery. The PVC slats have storm guard hooks to prevent their exit from the slides in high winds.

Finally, the seal is made of rubber for perfect darkness and better damping of the apron. The slides contain two brushes for a very quiet flexible guidance.
