Roller Shutters Quickly and Efficiently Installed by the Experts at Direct Shutters, Adelaide

WINGFIELD, Australia - April 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Roller shutters are extremely versatile and provide homeowners with a range of benefits, as well as being suitable for installation in almost all types of domestic or commercial building.  This is because they are custom-designed and built to fit your requirements and specifications exactly.  Therefore, whether it be to enhance your home security, protect your home against storm damage, insulate your home in the heat of an Australian summer, or reduce your home energy bills, installing custom-made roller shutters is an efficient and effective solution.  

Roller window shutters are usually installed either on the wall surrounding a window, or within a window recess, and so the first step in the process involves a qualified and experienced installer coming to your home to measure your windows.  Their measurements will take into account how your window shutters are to be installed, and this will ensure that they are manufactured to meet your exact specifications.  It may be that you have unusually-shaped windows, corner windows, or windows without a sill - this will not be a problem, and an experienced maker and installer will be able to work with you to provide an effective solution.  

At this stage in the process, you will also have a couple of choices of make.  The first will involve selecting a colour and design that suits your property and blends in well with the look of your home.  Custom-made shutters provide you with a range of colour choices and so finding one that works well with your existing colour is unlikely to be a problem.

The second important choice involves the operating method for your shutters.  You have three options:  manual operation; a mains or battery powered motor; or a solar power motor.  Manually operated shutters involve a strap or sidewinder being installed inside your home, while both battery/mains operated and solar powered shutters are controlled by a remote control unit.  (If you opt to install mains-powered roller shutters, it will be necessary for a qualified electrician to undertake the wiring.)

Once your shutters have been manufactured to your specifications, the installer will undertake the process of fixing them permanently in place.  This will involve:

• carefully and accurately drilling into the wall or window surround to attach the shutter guides
• installing the manual operating mechanism (if applicable)
• putting the pre-assembled shutters in place over the window, ensuring that they run smoothly and easily along the guides
• checking the top-locking system
• fixing the pelmet or headbox cover to the lintel
• a final check to make sure that the shutters are opening and closing smoothly

The installation of roller shutters is therefore quick and straightforward, and involves minimal disruption to your regular routine.  Whether you are having shutters installed in your home, business, or office premises, this ease of installation is one of the reasons why window shutters are such a good choice.  Homeowners can benefit from the many advantages that shutters offer, without having to undertake extensive or intrusive renovation work.  A trained professional can ensure that your shutters are securely in place with a minimum of fuss so that you can get on with enjoying the benefits that they bring without delay.
