FAQ: Aluminium Security Shutters
1. Are aluminium security shutters strong enough to replace burglar bars?
Yes. High-quality aluminium shutters are engineered for strength and often reinforced with internal locking systems. They provide both physical protection and a clean, modern alternative to unsightly burglar bars.
2. Can I install aluminium shutters on sliding doors or windows?
Absolutely. Aluminium security shutters are custom-made to fit the window and door types — including sliding doors, French doors, and unusually shaped openings. You’ll get both privacy and secure ventilation.
3. Do aluminium shutters work indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes, they’re designed for both. Indoor shutters offer privacy, light control, and insulation and we have a PVC range that is more cost – effective and not as “cold”. Outdoor shutters add security, storm protection and heat deflection, especially in coastal homes or harsh climates.
4. Are aluminium shutters worth the investment?
For many homeowners, they replace multiple products at once: burglar bars, curtains, blinds, and sometimes even security gates. Over time, the combination of security, energy efficiency, and longevity often makes them more cost-effective than separate solutions.
