Collection: Domestic Roller Shutters

Domestic roller shutters are available in several types, each designed to suit different property styles, security requirements, and budgets. The main types of domestic roller shutters include:

Aluminium Domestic Roller Shutters

The most common choice for residential properties, aluminium roller shutters are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and available insulated with polyurethane foam. They offer a strong balance of security, thermal insulation, and quiet operation, making them ideal for windows, doors, and patio openings.

Manual Domestic Roller Shutters

Manually operated shutters use a spring assisted mechanism or winder system and are best suited to smaller windows or low-use openings. They are a cost effective solution where automation is not required and there is no nearby power supply.

Electric Domestic Roller Shutters

Electric roller shutters are operated by a tubular motor and controlled via a wall switch, remote control, or smart home system. They are recommended for larger openings, frequent daily use, and homeowners seeking convenience and ease of operation.

External Domestic Roller Shutters

Externally fitted shutters are installed on the outside of the property, providing a visible security deterrent and protection against weather. They are commonly used for ground floor windows, doors, and garages and can be colour matched to the exterior of the home.

Internal Domestic Roller Shutters

Internal roller shutters are fitted within the property, often used to close off internal openings or add an extra layer of security behind glazing. They are discreet and protected from the elements, making them suitable where external installation is not possible.

Built In or Concealed Roller Shutters

Built in domestic roller shutters are designed to be recessed into the building structure, hiding the shutter box for a cleaner, more integrated appearance. These are often specified for new builds or renovation projects where aesthetics are a priority.

Each type of domestic roller shutter can be tailored in size, operation, and finish to meet the specific security, comfort, and design needs of the home.

Domestic roller shutters can be tailored to complement the style of your home while delivering reliable security and everyday comfort. A wide range of design and customisation options ensures the shutters not only perform well but also integrate seamlessly with your property.

• Shutters are manufactured to measure, allowing them to fit precisely over windows, doors, patio openings, and garages.
• Insulated aluminium slats are most commonly used, providing strength, smooth operation, and improved thermal and acoustic performance.
• The shutter box and guide rails can be specified in different sizes to suit the opening and available space.
• A broad selection of colours and finishes is available, enabling shutters to match existing window frames, doors, or exterior décor. Subtle, neutral tones are popular for a discreet look, while darker colours can be used to create a more defined architectural feature.
• Both internal and external installations can be designed to minimise visual impact.
• Operation can be customised to suit your lifestyle, with manual systems for smaller openings or electric operation for added convenience. Electric domestic roller shutters can be controlled via wall switches, remote controls, or integrated into smart home systems for automated opening and closing.
• Additional options include enhanced security features, improved insulation levels, wind resistance upgrades, and concealed or built in shutter boxes for a cleaner finish. These design and customisation choices allow domestic roller shutters to be both practical and visually in keeping with modern and traditional homes alike.

Domestic roller shutters are a versatile solution for residential properties, offering security, privacy, and comfort across a wide range of home applications. They can be installed on both new and existing properties and adapted to suit different layouts and lifestyles.

Windows

Our Window Shutters provide a strong visual deterrent against intruders while improving insulation and reducing outside noise. They also allow homeowners to control light levels and privacy, making them ideal for ground floor, bedroom windows and street facing windows.

Doors and Patio Openings

Domestic roller shutters are commonly installed over front doors, back doors, and patio doors to add an extra layer of security. When closed, they help protect glazing from impact and forced entry, while also improving thermal performance during colder months.

Garage Openings

Roller shutters are an effective alternative to traditional garage doors, particularly where space is limited. Their vertical operation frees up driveway and internal space, making them suitable for both single and double garage openings.

Balconies and Juliet Doors

In apartments and modern homes, roller shutters can be used to secure balcony doors and Juliet balconies. They provide privacy, reduce wind exposure, and enhance security without compromising the appearance of the building.

Home Offices and Garden Rooms

With more people working from home, domestic roller shutters are increasingly used to protect home offices, studios, and garden rooms. They help secure valuable equipment while also improving temperature control and reducing glare.

Internal Openings

In some homes, internal roller shutters are used to close off utility areas, kitchens, or storage spaces. These installations provide discreet separation while maintaining a clean, modern look.

These applications highlight how domestic roller shutters can be adapted to suit a wide variety of residential needs, improving security, comfort, and usability throughout the home.

Domestic roller shutters offer far more than basic security, providing homeowners with a practical combination of protection, comfort, and convenience. Their design and construction deliver clear everyday benefits across a wide range of residential settings.

Enhanced Home Security

Domestic roller shutters create a strong physical barrier over windows and doors, helping to deter intruders and protect against forced entry. When closed, they also shield glazing from impact and vandalism.

Improved Thermal Insulation

Insulated aluminium slats help reduce heat loss in winter and limit heat gain in summer, supporting a more comfortable indoor environment and potentially lowering energy costs.

Noise Reduction

By adding an extra insulated layer over openings, roller shutters help reduce external noise from traffic, neighbours, and general street activity, particularly beneficial for bedrooms and home offices.

Privacy and Light Control

Roller shutters give homeowners full control over privacy and daylight. They can be partially or fully closed to block out light, making them ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, and street facing rooms.

Weather Protection

Domestic roller shutters offer additional protection against harsh hurricane conditions, including wind, rain, and debris. This helps protect windows and doors during storms and adverse weather.

Convenient Operation

Available with manual or electric operation, domestic roller shutters are easy to use and reliable. Electric models can be operated at the touch of a button or integrated into smart home systems for automated control.

Discreet and Customisable Design

With a wide choice of colours, finishes, and installation options, domestic roller shutters can be designed to blend seamlessly with the style of the property, maintaining kerb appeal while improving functionality.

These features make domestic roller shutters a practical, long-term investment for improving security, comfort, and control within the home.

Domestic roller shutters are designed to provide safe, reliable operation while meeting relevant UK standards and best practice for residential installations. Ensuring the correct specification and installation is key to long term safety and performance.

Electrical Safety and Standards

Electric domestic roller shutters must be installed in accordance with current electrical regulations, including correct isolation, safe cable routing, and compliant control systems. Motors and controls are designed for residential use and tested to meet applicable safety standards.

Safe Operation and Use

Domestic roller shutters are fitted with controlled operating speeds and smooth running systems to reduce the risk of sudden movement. Electric shutters include built-in motor safety features, while manual shutters use spring assisted mechanisms to ensure controlled lifting and lowering.

Child and Occupant Safety

Where shutters are electrically operated, controls can be positioned out of reach of children, and key switches can be specified to prevent unauthorised use. Shutters should always be installed with clear sight of the opening to ensure safe operation.

Installation Compliance

Correct installation is essential to ensure shutters operate safely and do not interfere with window or door function, ventilation, or escape routes. Domestic roller shutters must be securely fixed to suitable substrates and installed in line with manufacturer guidelines.

Fire Safety Considerations

Domestic roller shutters are typically non fire rated and should not be installed over designated fire escape windows or doors where they could impede safe exit. If shutters are required in sensitive areas, this should be reviewed as part of a fire risk assessment.

Ongoing Checks and Maintenance

Homeowners are advised to carry out occasional visual checks to ensure shutters operate smoothly and are free from obstruction. Any unusual noise, resistance, or damage should be addressed promptly to maintain safe operation.

When correctly specified and installed, domestic roller shutters provide a safe, compliant, and dependable solution for residential security and comfort.

Proper installation and routine maintenance are essential to ensure domestic roller shutters operate smoothly, safely, and deliver long-term performance. When correctly fitted, they provide reliable security and everyday convenience for the home.

Professional Installation

Domestic roller shutters are typically made to measure and installed by experienced engineers to ensure accurate alignment and secure fixing. Shutters can be fitted externally or internally, depending on the property layout and homeowner preference. For electric shutters, safe electrical connection and commissioning are carried out to ensure smooth operation and correct limit settings.

DIY Installation (Supply Only Options)

For competent DIYers or tradespeople, supply only domestic roller shutters can be provided for self installation. These are most suitable for standard, non electric shutters or electric shutters where a qualified electrician is available to complete the final electrical connection. Accurate measuring, correct fixing into suitable substrates, and careful alignment are critical to ensure safe operation. DIY installation is not recommended where the shutter may affect escape routes or where the installer is unsure of structural or electrical requirements.

Minimal Disruption Installation

Most domestic roller shutter installations can be completed with minimal disruption to the home. Installers take care to protect surrounding surfaces, and the shutter box and guides are positioned to maintain a neat, discreet finish that complements the property.

Manual and Electric System Setup

Manual shutters are set up with correctly balanced spring mechanisms for controlled operation. Electric shutters are tested to confirm smooth movement, reliable stopping points, and correct operation of switches or remote controls.

Routine Maintenance

Domestic roller shutters require very little maintenance. Periodic cleaning of the shutter curtain and guide rails helps prevent the build-up of dirt and debris. Occasional lubrication of moving parts may be recommended to maintain smooth operation.

Ongoing Safety Checks

Homeowners should visually check shutters from time to time to ensure they are operating evenly and without obstruction. Any signs of damage, unusual noise, or stiffness should be investigated promptly to avoid further wear.

With professional fitting or careful DIY installation, supported by simple ongoing maintenance, domestic roller shutters provide a long-lasting and dependable solution for residential security and comfort
