What are the advantages to buy a roller shutter ?
In addition to security, the roller shutter provides thermal comfort all year round. It keeps the interior cool in summer during heat waves and insulates the home from the cold in winter.
The roller shutter offers you many advantages. Here is a short guide summarising the benefits of installing roller shutters.
Comfort and energy savings in summer
With good thermal insulation, roller shutters allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature without having to resort to expensive and energy-intensive air conditioning. Bring in the natural coolness at night to cool your home and keep that coolness throughout the day by using your roller shutters.
Some brands go one step further : Bubendorff offers solar shutters that automatically adjust their position according to sunlight and temperature to maximise energy savings and allow you to maintain an ideal temperature in your home.
Saving energy in winter
Leave your shutters open during the day, the sunlight will naturally warm up your home. Close your shutters at nightfall, as they will increase the insulation of your interior and prevent the heat from escaping.
Some brands go one step further : Bubendorff offers solar roller shutters that close automatically at nightfall when the temperature drops below 12 °C.
Security for your home
The roller shutter is equipped with automatic locks to prevent it from being pushed up, making your home safer. With the radio control, you can easily programme opening and closing times to carry out a “presence simulation” when you are away.
Advantages of roller shutters over air conditioning
In addition to noise, air conditioning is a very energy-intensive solution. With a solar roller shutter, you can manage the temperature inside without using electricity. If you close your roller shutter during a heatwave, it acts as a “heat shield” and keeps the home cool. With a roller shutter, you can use less (or no) air conditioning, saving energy and being more environmentally friendly at the same time.
Advantages of a roller shutter compared to an internal blind or curtain
To keep the heat of the sun out in summer, you need to stop the sun’s rays BEFORE they hit your window pane. Otherwise, both blinds and curtains will only hold back the heat and spread it to the sides.
They can complement each other to provide shade, and especially from the heat, there is no substitute for a roller shutter.
Advantages of the roller shutter over blinds
The roller shutter offers more security and has a longer service life.
