FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE ALUMINIUM ROLLER SHUTTER DOORS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

An aluminium roller shutter door consists of horizontal slats hinged together to form a flexible curtain. The curtain rolls up neatly into a compact box above the opening, saving valuable space. They can be manually or motor-operated.

Many newer models also integrate remote controls and smart features for added ease of use.

ARE ALUMINIUM SHUTTER DOORS SECURE AND DURABLE?

Aluminium performs well in coastal or humid areas; however, any metal not cleaned and maintained can rust. The interlocking slats form a decent barrier for general security needs and can be upgraded with locks.

Though not as strong as our steel industrial roller shutter doors, aluminium offers a lighter-weight option for environments where heavy-duty protection is not essential.

MANUAL VS ELECTRIC ALUMINIUM ROLLER SHUTTERS - WHICH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Both options serve different needs. Manual shutters are cost-effective and easy to use for smaller or low-traffic openings.

Electric aluminium shutters provide added convenience for frequent access or larger openings.

WHAT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED FOR ALUMINIUM ROLLER SHUTTERS

Like all roller shutters, aluminium versions require regular upkeep to stay in good working condition.

Annual servicing for electric units and routine cleaning and lubrication for manual types will keep them functional and safe. This is particularly important as aluminium is lighter and may require closer attention to mechanical wear over time.

WHAT COLOUR OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

DEFENDoor Aluminium shutters are available in our standard colour range which are white, black, anthracite grey, silver, bronze and chocolate brown to complement your property.

These coatings help protect against UV damage and corrosion, maintaining the shutter’s appearance through varying weather conditions.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROLLER SHUTTER FOR MY PROPERTY?

Choosing an aluminium shutter depends on factors like usage frequency, opening size, and your desired level of convenience. Consider how often you’ll operate it, your insulation needs, and local weather conditions.

Our team can help you select the best aluminium shutter for lighter-duty applications—or guide you toward our robust steel options if your needs are more demanding.
