Are you buying Security Shutters?. Need a home security solution that’s attractive, adds value and offers protection? Security Shutters tick all the boxes, but they can be pricey.
If you’re ready to invest in security shutters, you’ll want to get the best value for your money. Many shutter manufacturers offer discounts but you shouldn’t compromise on your security. Here are some things to look for when you’re shopping around for security shutters.
Quality Materials
Security shutters are often made from aluminium because it’s strong but light. We use a high-grade aluminium alloy (6063-T6) to manufacture our Security Shutters. It’s easy to extruded smooth yet complex shapes from this grade of aluminium. That’s why it’s used for window and door frames and of course, shutters.
This grade is strong enough to withstand 190 MPa (megapascals) of pressure. And thanks to a thin surface layer of aluminium oxide, it’s corrosion-resistant, which means it won’t rust or fade.
Designed for Strength
The strength in security shutters doesn’t only come from the type of metal used. A lot has to do with the design of the aluminium profiles or frame stiles. The stiles are the strips you see on the left- and right-hand side of the louvres. They attach to the top and bottom rails.
Thicker frames might be more secure, but they look bulky and unattractive. For a strong but elegant security shutter, our frames have a hidden ribbing.
Security Shutter Features – Bolts & Louvres
Locks and bolts are what set security shutters apart from decorative shutters. It’s the quality that matters most, so here’s what you need to look out for.
On our shutters, the top bolt extends 11.5 mm into the top frame and 16.5 mm into the bottom track. They have tensioned rods and thicker walls. And an internal structure designed for strength and stability. That’s why our security shutters are the best on the market.
Worried that a crowbar could part the louvres? We thought about that too. So we reinforced the end caps with hardened steel pins. The pins secure the louvres to the frame. While they might get damaged, they’ll never pop out of the frame.
Strong Details
Attention to detail is crucial when it comes to security. Criminals will exploit even the smallest weakness to gain entry into your home. So we use hinges with shouldered or tapered pins that burglars can’t punch out to remove the panels. These hinges also have nylon inserts to ensure the panels open and close without making a sound.
Yet another example of how we combine strength, aesthetics, and functional design. The result is a security shutter you want to have in your home. Pay attention to the details when buying security shutters to ensure you get value for money.
