Roller Shutters & Roller Grilles 

What is the 44mm Roll-formed Shutter?

This shutter system rolls totally away from view leaving your home or business windows completely unobstructed.  Up to 90% cooler in summer and 70% warmer in winter, these shutters provide excellent year-round protection against intruders, noise, rain, hail, wind, debris and damaging UV rays.  They also provide an effective barrier to flying ash in bush fire prone areas.

It is a system of interlocking, architectural strength, 44mm tall aluminium slats (44mm for the curved profile, also available in 40mm straight profile), injected with polyurethane and coated in fade and abrasive resistant enamel.   The shutter retracts into an overhead pelmet box above when not in use.  This shutter can be controlled manually or electronically from inside your premises.

By adjusting the distance between the slats you can easily create a softly-lit atmosphere. 

An internal locking mechanism locks the shutter in position when down.  Additional security by way of our key locking system is also available which will increase strength and resilience.

Why should I choose the 44mm Roll-formed Shutter for my home or Business?

Quality and Strength – These interlocking, architectural strength, aluminium shutters combine the elegance of Italian design with the strength of metal to provide excellent security for your home as well as effective protection against the harsh effects of the weather.

They are coated in fade and abrasive resistant enamel. Their non-corrosive characteristics mean that maintenance is nil.

Quality is ensured by a meticulous 3 stage test: 

• Control manufacturing materials by testing the technical properties of the aluminium, of the binding quality and resistance of polyammidic paint that result in an "orange peel" finish of particular resistance to abrasion.  
• Constant control of the roll forming cycle, to ensure the perfect shaping of the aluminium coil and the proper process of injection of polyurethanic resins.
• Sample testing of the finished product, to guarantee its conformity with manufacturing standards.

The roller shutters are custom made to exact measurements.  They can be fitted either on the face or within the reveal.  In some cases, it is possible to have a shutter 'split' into two separately operated curtains.

In most instances these roller shutters can be manually operated.  In most brick veneer, weatherboard and cladding homes the most common manual control type, the winch control, is recessed into the cavity of a stud wall, covered by a face plate, which will allow the operator to insert the handle into the winch and gently rotate and hence control the roller shutter to a position of their liking.

Double Brick homes are governed by the cavity between the two bricks which will ultimately determine whether or not a recessed winch or a specially designed exposed solid brick winch, which has its own housing, will be used.  Strap winches operated by handle or hand are also available and generally used on smaller windows, for instance laundry areas, or where there is limited space on an internal wall.

Larger Roller Shutters will require the assistance of space saving direct drive tubular motors (slide into the axle), which makes operating your Security Roller Shutter on a daily basis as simple as flicking a switch or using a remote control.

Every shutter comes with 12 month warranty against defective materials and workmanship. An additional five year warranty applies to the rolling slats.

Technical Specifications

Materials - The shutter consists of an aluminium rolling curtain retracting into an overhead pelmet box.  The guide tracks are made of powder coated extruded aluminium.  The shutter is raised and lowered by either a manual winding mechanism or electric motor.

Locks - Most shutters are fitted with a bottom slide lock for security.  Bottom double-sided key locks are also available.

Colour Range - The slats are available in 13 colours: Sahara, White, Grey, Bronze, Teak, Cream, Mushroom, Charcoal, Red, Almond, Green, Brown and Olive.
The pelmet boxes are available in 4 polyamide colours as standard.  These are: Sahara, White, Brown and Almond. Additional powder coated colours are available on request.

Slats - The raw materials used in the aluminium roll-formed slats have passed resistance tests against friction, saline fog, water immersion and dampness, according to DIN rules.  The polyurethane insulation foam is without Freon or ODP, both of which have been linked to Ozone Layer depletion.  The paint on the slats is Polyamide enamel, which gives the surface an "orange peel" finish which is particularly resistant to abrasion.  Side Guide size is 53mm deep x 23 mm wide.

Back-up / Override - The shutters can come with a 600W or 1,000W UPS Battery Back-up Facility to enable operation of shutter in case of power failure.
