Light & Heavy Duty Roller Shutter – Benefits & Suitable Uses

Roller shutters come in all kinds of materials, sizes and designs – moreover, they may be enhanced with a plethora of extra features. We commercialize any type of roller shutter, but we can also enhance our installation with a bunch of extras in terms of safety and security. We recommend taking your time and analyzing your possibilities with one of our representatives.

One of the first questions will be about your overall needs and the things you want to protect. Why? Simple – do you need light or heavy duty roller shutters?

Differences between light and heavy duty roller shutters

Light roller shutters are easy to operate and provide plenty of protection. Of course, if someone drives an SUV through the shutters at 50MPH to break into your jewelry store, chances are they will make it in. Regular thieves and burglars will struggle to get in due to the perfect design and the actual material.

Light shutters are lightweight and easier to operate. They are clearly not as thick as their heavy duty alternatives, but they provide the optimal protection. We recommend these basic shutters to residential garages and small business owners. They make a good choice if the risk of burglary is low.

Heavy duty roller shutters are heavier, thicker and more durable. They are great for large facilities, such as warehouses, not to mention businesses dealing with valuables. For instance, banks tend to rely on this type of shutters. Operating them might be a bit more difficult, but safety is never light – this is why we usually recommend the automatic mechanism.

What benefits make heavy duty roller shutters so popular?

Surprisingly enough, we have had customers of low risk premises investing in heavy duty roller coasters. It might seem a little unusual, but it makes perfect sense.

You want as much security as possible. You can do with light shutters, but upgrading to heavy duty shutters does not make such a big difference to your wallet. In other words, making the upgrade is a cost efficient deal. The extras you get make everything worth it.

On the other hand, some areas have experienced a rise in crime. If you live or you run a business in such an area (or close to one), we recommend going a bit further. Heavy duty rollers make an excellent deterrent – we believe it is better to be safe than sorry.

The right usage of heavy duty roller shutters

Heavy duty roller shutters are recommended to everyone who wants a well deserves peace of mind. It is also a good idea for large industrial places, as well as businesses dealing with valuables – pawn shops, jewelry stores and so on. They are also excellent for areas with a high crime rate.

When it comes to residential uses, they make a good choice if you own a supercar or a collectible. When you spend hundreds of thousands on a vehicle, shutters will bring you great value for money and a good protection of your investment.
