Top 3 benefits of roller shutters
Improved home security
Roller shutters are a practical and multi-functional product that will improve the comfort of your home and give you peace of mind. At CW Shutters, our roller shutters are low maintenance and long-lasting, thanks to their high-quality aluminium alloy construction. Sleep easy at night knowing that your home will be more secure against intruders and other outside elements for years to come.
Reduced energy bills
Choose a window covering that reduces your carbon footprint and energy bills. All our domestic roller shutters have a polyurethane foam-filled profile for improved thermal properties.
We then install our shutters over your window, leaving a gap between the shutter and the glass. This gap can provide up to a 90% reduction in thermal transfer – so you can turn down the air conditioner and save your hard-earned cash.
Better night’s sleep
Light sleepers everywhere, rejoice! Unlike roller blinds or curtains, roller shutters offer up to 100% total blockout – meaning that no light can filter through, allowing you to sleep in total darkness.
Roller shutters give you the ultimate light control. Our modern shutters can be easily adjusted to any height, allowing as much light into your home as you want.
How to make the right choice when buying roller shutters
Understand why you want roller shutters
When it comes to choosing the right roller shutters for your needs, it’s important to understand why you want them in the first place. Roller shutters come in an array of designs, styles and functions. So figuring out what purpose you need your roller shutters to fulfil will help you narrow down your options.
Are you considering roller shutters to increase the sense of safety you feel in your home or building? Then you may want to consider a roller shutter such as our LockSafeTM roller shutter. Or perhaps you’re looking for something that will increase your home’s curb appeal while giving your family a convenient way to increase their privacy. In that case, our classic 42mm Single Line or Double Line roller shutter will do the trick.
Determine how you want to control your roller shutters
Long gone are the days when you only had one way to operate your roller shutters. Thanks to modern technology, there are countless ways to open and close your shutters. From no-frills manual shutters to a hi-tech app on your smartphone, how you control your shutters is completely up to you.
Motorising your roller shutters provides convenience and comfort, while manual shutters are often more cost-effective with a simple operation. Motorisation also comes with plenty of options – you can choose to operate your shutters from a switch on a wall or remotely from your smart device. We can customise the operation of your roller shutters to suit your lifestyle.
Choose a style that suits your home or building
Roller shutters have come a long way in terms of style and design. Nowadays, roller shutters are sleek in appearance and are designed to enhance the look of your building. They also come in a variety of colours and styles to complement any home. Narrow down your choices by selecting a roller shutter that accentuates the architecture of your dwelling.
We recommend choosing a shutter that matches the colour of your guttering or window frames. This will create a cohesive flow throughout the exterior of your home.
Read the reviews
Finding a reputable supplier for your new roller shutters requires a little research. So check out any reviews you can find in order to find the right roller shutter company for your needs.
Start by asking your friends and family. Have they, or do they know someone who has, bought roller shutters recently? What was their experience? Are they able to get you a confident referral?
If you’re unable to find someone who can recommend a shutter company, then it’s time to jump online. Check Google and Facebook for any reviews. Don’t forget to see how the company responds to these reviews – it can be a glimpse of how they would treat you as a potential customer.
Ask about the warranty and understand the details
Having a warranty in place can put your mind at ease when investing in a large purchase, such as multiple roller shutters. Buy your shutters from a supplier that has a generous warranty policy in place, and be sure to understand exactly what it entails. Ask to have it in writing – it could save you some serious headaches in the future.
Be wary of any companies that engage in high-pressure sales tactics. Salespeople who attempt to pressure you into buying their products don’t allow you the opportunity to make well-informed decisions – not to mention that it makes for a very uncomfortable experience.
With a broad range of shutters to choose from, CW Shutters is guaranteed to have exactly what you need. Our extensive range includes specialty shutter products for both residential and commercial applications, all crafted with high-quality materials and state-of-the-art machinery.
