Why Choose Window Roller Shutters?

Windows and doors are responsible for the majority of heat loss and heat gain that takes place in a home, and knowing how to effectively combat this is critical for optimum indoor conditions. Window roller shutters are an affordable and easy way to reduce heat and keep your house cool while saving on power bills. Eco-friendly and attractive, they protect the inside of the house from light and heat, and have added benefits including:

  • They keep you home safe from burglars and offer excellent privacy.
  • They are available in a number of colours to complement the current exterior colour scheme of a home.

How Do Window Roller Shutters Keep a House Cool?

The top performers when it comes to thermal insulation in summer – roller shutters provide an effective barrier between outdoor heat and the window or door glass pane. The shutter’s thermal characteristics are achieved by an air pocket formed between the shutter and the glass. Roller shutters, when completely closed, can reduce heat gain by up to 90%.

By How Much Can Roller Shutters Reduce My Power Bills?

Perth is known for its scorching summers, with the many parts of the region regularly hitting 40 degrees or higher. In these conditions, most homeowners are forced to resort to expensive cooling methods, such as air conditioners that cause a drastic spike in electricity costs. Installing roller window shutters keep cool air in and hot air out, meaning less usage of air conditioning and therefore leading to a cost saving of up to 30% in your electricity bill.

Roller Shutters Are Great for Bush Fire Areas

Unfortunately, there isn’t an Australian summer that goes by without bush fires and government agencies now advise installing aluminium window roller shutters for added protection for homes in bush fire prone regions. Window roller shutters can reduce the effects of bushfires by:

  • Preventing scorching heat from entering the home.
  • Preventing glass windows and doors from shattering.
  • Stopping internal fixtures and furnishings from igniting.
