Although there are various ways to secure your home, installing roller shutters is one of the best options. Shutters make it challenging for burglars and intruders to remove them because they are closely fitted to windows. Because of this reason, shutters were commonly installed in the past solely for security purposes. Back in the day, shutters looked heavy and industrial, leaving your home feeling safer but looking unappealing. However, with the multiple sleek options available in roller shutters, more and more people are getting premium roller shutters installed in cities like Perth. Not just that, people are also taking the route of DIY roller shutter installations in the last ten years with significant development in the roller shutter industry.
Let’s understand why.
1) Roller shutters deter burglars
Stolen goods aren’t the loss incurred in a burglary. Loss can also come in the form of damage to property, damage to a business’ reputation or even real estate value because of the “unsafe” tag. At EzyFit DIY roller shutters, we recommend investing in security roller shutters in Australian cities like Perth. Installing roller shutters can lessen the damage to your property as it creates an almost impenetrable shield over your windows. Also, unlike CCTV cameras and alarms, shutters are preventive instead of reparative. They prevent break-ins from happening instead of raising an alarm or helping connect the dots after the event has taken place. Apart from acting as a psychological deterrent, roller shutters can actually delay the break-in by a precious few minutes where the break-in can catch someone’s attention and the police be informed.
2) Roller shutters reduce unwanted outside noise
Did you know noise from heavy traffic, fireworks, even ambulances and fire trucks can go as loud as 120 decibels? Prolonged exposure to noise above 70 decibels may start to damage your hearing. So, if you have kids or pets at home or if you want to simply enjoy your leisure time in peace, investing in roller shutter is almost a no-brainer.
With our DIY roller shutters now available in Perth, as well as, all across Australia you can reduce the noises disturbing you at your home or business by up to 75%! Whether you live next to a bustling school or across the street from a busy road, these shutters are designed to minimise audible noise levels to create your home or office into the peaceful shelter of tranquillity that it was meant to be.
3) Roller shutters control extra outside light
Want to sleep during the day but have trouble doing so due to the light from the windows? Working the night shift and finding it difficult to get a restful night’s sleep during the day? If your answer to either was yes, then our sun protection roller shutters have got you covered, quite literally! With these roller shutters, property owners can control the amount of natural light that enters the room through windows. Any room can be brightened up or experience a complete black out by rolling the shutters up and down. Unlike curtains or blinds, sun protection roller shutters made from aluminium are completely opaque and closely fit over windows, allowing no light to pass through, unless rolled up.
4) Roller shutters insulate homes & offices
According to studies, up to 70% of hot air and 30% of cool air is lost through your windows. This happens both through surface transmission and through the tiny gaps between wall and ill-fitted windows. Heated air escapes your homes (and offices) during the winter months, while the cool air-conditioned air of your home plots an escape through the windows in the summer months. Combined with rising fuel prices, your energy bill just keeps soaring up higher and higher every season. But with EzyFit DIY roller shutters, the finest manufacturer of premium roller shutters in Australia, you can save up to 40% on your heating and cooling costs. To get started, order and install our insulated aluminium roller shutters on your property and then sit back, relax and let the shutters do the rest of the work.
