Aluminium Roller Shutter Systems

Choose aluminium if corrosion resistance, light weight and shop-front aesthetics are the priority; choose galvanised steel for maximum impact resistance and warehouse or industrial use. The right range is recommended during the site survey based on the application. Because aluminium shutters are lighter, they run on a smaller motor, while galvanised steel is economical and durable for wide openings.

No. Aluminium does not rust thanks to its natural oxide layer. With an anodised or powder-coated finish, it keeps its appearance for many years, even in coastal and humid environments. This makes it longer-lasting than galvanised steel for seaside shops, pool and leisure facilities, and humid production areas. Periodic cleaning and guide rail maintenance are sufficient.

An aluminium roller shutter is secure thanks to the high strength of its extruded aluminium slats. With heavy-gauge profiles, a bottom lock and reinforced guide rails, it is also used at high-risk premises such as jewellers and exchange offices. Its light weight reduces motor wear and it does not rust; alarm integration and anti-lift locks can be added for extra security.

Aluminium roller shutters are available in anodised finishes (natural, bronze, black) and in electrostatic powder coating across the full RAL colour chart. Corporate colour matching is provided per project, so the shutter can be coordinated with the shop front, façade and window frames. The powder-coated surface resists UV and weathering and holds its colour against fading for a long time.

Yes. With a Wi-Fi or smart home module, an aluminium roller shutter can be opened and closed from a phone app. Timers can open and close it automatically at set times, and scenes can link it with other smart devices. The remote control and wall switch remain in use, and an obstacle detection sensor ensures safe closing.
