Have you been considering installing roller shutters, but do not know where to begin? We understand that renovating a house is not everyone’s cup of tea. As such, we have put together this detailed guide to installing roller shutters at your home.
Let us start by looking at why roller shutters might be a valuable addition to your home.
The weather in Australia can be extreme, and we sometimes discover that our homes do not keep the heat as well as we thought they did during the colder months. Glass windows will not provide much of a shield against the cold, and curtains and blinds will not effectively insulate your house.
Roller shutters, on the other hand, are ideal for shutting out the wind because they can keep the heat in while repelling the cold. This insulation would lower your winter heating costs significantly, lowering your cost of living during the colder months.
Anyone who lives in Australia knows how oppressive the summers can be, particularly if their home lacks an effective air conditioning system.
Since roller shutters protect against the cold, it is only natural that they also serve as a heat barrier. This means you’ll need much less energy to keep your home at a reasonable temperature during the hotter months of the year, which are typically the costliest.
Roller shutters are excellent at managing both light and noise. When you install roller shutters, you have total control. You can completely darken even the brightest room by fully extending your shutters. Plus, you can fully open them and let the afternoon sun in.
By installing roller shutters, you will cut outside noise in half, making them ideal for shift workers (or even those of us who enjoy the odd afternoon nap)
Roller shutters are excellent at deterring offenders, which is rapidly becoming their key selling point. Roller shutters seem impenetrable at first sight, easily casting doubt in the minds of would-be burglars.
Installing this added security gives you and your family peace of mind when you need to leave your home unattended, whether it is for a short ride to the store or weeks’ vacation.

The installation process takes about an hour per window. So, if we are doing your entire house in one day, it should be fast, and you will be able to enjoy lower energy bills, increased protection, and effective control over noise and light.
The durability of the roller shutters that we install at Professional Shutters & Improvements is one of their best features. They need little to no upkeep. They practically take care of themselves!
The device inside the shutter does not need to be serviced, so all you have to think about is cleaning the shutters regularly. Dirt will accumulate on springs and rollers over time. This becomes abrasive over time, leaving slat marks and indentations.
Maintenance is as easy as giving them a good rinsing with a garden hose or a light detergent wipe down. Of course, we recognise that certain circumstances are beyond your control, which is why we provide roller shutters repairs.
