8 Important Questions about Roller Shutters That Must Be Answered!

1. What is the difference between out wall and in reveal shutters?

In case of an in reveal roller shutter the box guide and the curtains are all installed within the window opening. This means that when you look at your house from the outside you can see guide and box. 
On the other hand, on wall shutter is installed by making the box sit above the window opening while the guides sitting outside the opening of the window.

2. How is the roller shutter controlled?

There are several ways the roller shutters can be controlled. Most of the residential ones are operated manually through a winder or strap box. However, the electric ones are controlled using switch or remote.



3. Do you need electricians to install ODS battery and hard-wired electric shutters?

The ODS battery is not connected to the main power in the house and no electrician is required to install it. Even if there are no power supply, the ODS system will still operate the shutters and the batteries do not require replacement as this can be charged with a wall charger. On the other hand, hard wired electric operated ones need an experienced electrician to hard wire the connection to the mains power.

4. Can I control my roller shutters from anywhere?

Generally, all the manual battery driven and electric roller shutters are operated from inside the home, this helps provide extra security and privacy from the outside. However, depending on your needs adjustment can be made.

5. Does roller shutters help in noise control?

Rollers shutters can reduce up to 50% of noises if installed appropriately in a room. However, please keep in mind that the shutters are not sound proof as sound may leak through the roof, under doors and windows too.

6. Do I need to clean the roller shutters regularly? 

Yes, just like your doors and windows the shutters need to cleaned and maintained to maintain a clean look and longevity.

When cleaning, make sure that the guides are not being obstructed when the curtain is being drawn in a downward motion. When the curtain is fully closed, clean it with a hose, the curtain should be wiped in an up and down motion and not side by side.While cleaning, only use non-abrasive cleaning materials to clean the curtains properly.

7. Can the colour of my roller shutters be changed?

Fortunately you can but it is not easy to achieve that. The shutter would require a thorough power coated treatment to change the colours. In order to change the colour of the box and guide, new curtains are needed to be created since the roller slat cannot be powder coated.

8. Can my roller shutters be converted to automatic system?

Off course you can! Your current roller shutters can be converted into ODS battery system or hard-wired electric.
