Features and benefits

The greenhouse effect:

It is a well-known and undisputed fact that external solar protection devices are superior to an internal system with respect to the energy transmission rate and thus to room temperature.

Security:

Australia’s largest home insurer the NRMA reports that 55% of domestic home break-ins are through unprotected windows. The roller shutter can offer the first line of defense in this situation and has the major advantage of being a visual deterrent. With it’s unique operation and locking device also offer a physical barrier against forced intrusion.

Thermal Insulation

The slat is rolled to form a hollow casing into which a PU foam is injected, creating an 8.7mm (AR400 series) thick wall of insulation, similar in style to a cool room.

There is that added insulating qualities of the air gap between the shutter and the window. These functions could provide up to 90% reduction in thermal transfer through the covered window.

Noise Insulation Properties - Australian Roller Shutters

Noise Insulation:

The insulating qualities have the additional function of dampening the intrusion of unwanted noise by up to 50%. By creating a barrier in front of the window, the noise flow, which is transferred by vibrations through the air is reduced.

 

Storm Protection

The roller shutter will offer a physical barrier against driving rain, high winds and flying debris.

They are especially effective against hail, protecting the glass from breaking and possible personal injury.

OZRoll Roller Shutters Awarded Australian Design Mark - for security, thermal and noise insulation, fire and storm protection.

Fire Protection:

The heat from a bush fire can easily shatter the glass in a window and allow the entry of radiant heat and ashes to the home.

In this case, the roller shutter will offer an effective barrier against radiating heat and airborne ashes.
