Why choose the Lightweight Aluminium Roller Shutter?

Looking for a sleek, space-saving solution to control light and enhance privacy without compromising on style? The Lightweight Aluminium Roller Shutter (RA2) is a compact and versatile option, ideal for residential windows, kitchen serveries, bars, and other interior or exterior applications where security isn’t the primary concern.

Designed with a minimalist compact box and guide system, the RA2 offers a neat and tidy installation that blends seamlessly with modern architecture. Its 40mm insulated aluminium laths help regulate temperature and reduce light intrusion—perfect for homeowners seeking added comfort and energy efficiency.

This shutter is especially popular in kitchens and bar areas, where it acts as a visual barrier, providing privacy and concealing spaces when not in use. If you love the look and size of the RA2 but need more robust protection, explore our Compact High-Security Aluminium Roller Shutter options.

Flexible Operation Options

Choose from multiple manual control options tailored to your needs:

  •    Swivel Belt Winder – Simple tape system for internal control.
  •   Rod Crank Handle – Geared operation with a winding handle.
  •   Spring & Lock – Lift and lower with integrated key lock security.

Prefer convenience? Upgrade to electric operation for effortless use. Integrate your shutter with smart home systems such as Alexa, or add remote controls, timers, and wall switches for full automation.

Stylish Colour Options

The RA2 is powder coated in White (RAL 9016) as standard. To complement your home’s design, choose from over 20 additional colour finishes, available at a small extra cost (note: this may extend lead times).
