F.A.Q.
My entry door and garage door are well protected against break-in. What's the best way to protect the windows?
The best window protection is, naturally, ensured by shutters. Choosing this solution, make sure they are equipped with high-quality bolts and locks. Apart from durable curtains, these elements markedly reduce the risk of burglary.
Apart from burglary protection, what other benefits do I get from installing rolling shutters?Thanks to shutters, you can easily adjust the amount of sun getting into your home and make your room quieter from outside noise. Rolling shutters help you hide away from nosy looks of your neighbours and passers-by, which can sometimes be a real nuisance.
Is it possible to match rolling shutters to wooden doors and windows?Reputed manufacturers offer rolling shutters in a wide variety of veneers which imitate wood. This means that your rolling shutters can be perfectly suited to windows and doors made of solid wood or wood-like materials. However, before you select the veneer, make sure to compare its colour and texture with your existing window joinery.
In terms of architecture, my house is very modern. Are there any rolling shutters on the market that would further enhance the original architectural features of my home?Yes, there are, provided that the rolling shutters you order are offered in any RAL colour you may wish. The RAL colour matching system is made up of more than 200 different colours, so you are free to choose a colour that will match your facade.
I'm having a house built at the moment. When should I have rolling shutters mounted?The most convenient solution is to plan the installation of shutters at the design stage. However, if you have forgotten to include shutters in your plans, find a manufacturer who (in addition to built-in shutters) also offers:
- built-on security shutters - fixed to the wall or in the window recess (without having to replace windows), or
- top mounted roller shutters - fixed in the window recess together with the window.
Check with the manufacturer if the shutters they offer are electrically powered and provided with button or remote control.
If you have a couple of shutters, it is possible to install a multiple control system to lift and pull down several shutters simultaneously. More demanding customers could also opt for a smart control system based on a programme timer and sun, wind and dusk automatic response systems.
Yes, they will. Shutters will make your home peaceful and quiet. By rolling down your shutters, you can shut yourself off from the outside world. Nothing will violate the tranquillity of your own home. The feeling is priceless.
Are mosquito screens useful in our climate?Mosquito screens come in useful in the spring, summer and autumn. They protect you not only from mosquitoes, as the name suggests, but also from all sorts of other insects that can make your life a nightmare. Also, by using mosquito screens, you can eliminate the risk of allergic reactions or insect stings.
I'd like to have good and highly durable shutters installed at my home. What things should I pay attention to?Above all, check the material. In high-quality shutters, curtains are made of extruded aluminium sections. A proven filling material for shutters is non-freon polyurethane foam.
What things confirming shutter durability should I look for?Pay attention to the CE mark placed on the shutters, which confirms compliance with applicable EU directives. The mark certifies that the product meets all relevant user health and safety requirements. Compliance with those requirements is a good guarantee of strength.Also, remember that products from esteemed manufacturers are always marked with a logo.
