Sun screens are an excellent solution combining functionality and esthetic design, providing comfort and weather protection. Choosing the right product is not easy, though, as there are a variety of materials and options available on the market, making it possible to customize solutions. One product that you should have a look at is external roller shutters. Find out more.

The benefits of external roller shutters

One of the key reasons for investing in external roller shutters is to maximize privacy and security. These products keep your home private and secure, so that you can sit back and relax without worrying about the prying eyes of your neighbors. Crucially, roller shutters minimize the risk of burglary and theft of valuables, money or jewelry from your apartment.

This type of screen also serves as noise protection. If your home is located close to a busy street, railroad tracks or other noise sources, roller shutters can help to considerably reduce the noise, improving the acoustic comfort inside the rooms.

The high-quality materials used to produce these types of screens improve the sound insulation of rooms. But these are not the only benefits! Another major benefit of external roller shutters is that they help to better insulate the building. When made of the right material, they can serve as extra insulation, preventing interiors from getting too hot on hot days and losing heat in winter. So what are the key factors to consider when choosing window screens for your home or apartment?

Materials – quality makes the difference

To choose the right solution, you need to have a close look at the material of the screens. External roller shutters made of aluminum, PVC or steel are the most common models on the market. While each of these materials comes with its own benefits, aluminum is considered the best choice. This is because it is highly weather-resistant, exceptionally durable and aesthetically pleasing in its modern design, all of which make it the material of choice for modern and elegant buildings. Steel, by contrast, is very durable, but heavier and more susceptible to corrosion.

Pay attention also to the finishing of the materials. Good quality external roller shutters should be coated with a special layer that protects them from fading and mechanical damage.

Customized roller shutters – made to measure and in a wide range of colors

One of the major benefits of these screens is that they are fully customizable. Made-to-measure roller shutters will be a perfect fit for your windows, looking great and providing optimal functionality. This is particularly important for small or irregularly shaped windows.

Manufacturers also offer a wide range of colors, so that you can perfectly match the product to the building façade and window frames. Choosing the right color for your roller shutters can have a significant visual impact on your home. Our wide range of colors makes it easier for you to find the shade that best suits your home. You can choose between subtle colors such as white or gray and more intense shades that add a unique and modern touch to your building.

Automation – convenience made easy

Modern external aluminum roller shutters often come with automation systems that considerably increase the comfort of use. Make sure that the products you choose are remote-controllable. Automatic roller shutters just make things more convenient – they are easy to open and close, saving you the trouble of having to manually operate the retractor. Depending on the model, shutters can be operated via remote control, a mobile app or a traditional wall switch.

In addition, state-of-the-art automation systems make it possible to program roller shutters for specific times, so that they can automatically close or open at the right times, for example at night or when the sun is shining.

Connection to a smart home system

Roller shutter systems more and more often can be integrated into smart home systems. With the IoT (Internet of Things), you can use an app on your phone or tablet to control the opening and closing of windows, no matter where you are. You can program your devices to keep rooms from getting too hot during the day and to make sure you and your loved ones feel safe and have privacy in the evening.
