Roller Shutters

What are Roller Shutters?

Roller shutters were first invented in 1850 in the USA as a form of protection from bullets firing against the windows of a house in the civil war period today we are fortunate that we don’t need to use them for that reason then they were made purely out of steel now we have aluminium and steel that are foam filled but what made them so special was they could be lowered from inside your home for protection without going outside and also wound up out of the way to receive full natural light when not in use.

How much do roller shutters cost?

Our roller shutters cost a little more than most of our competitors with the average installed & wired motorised roller shutter costing $1390 and the average competitors cost is $1165 Why the difference it's simple we have gone to great lengths to find the very best parts, materials and motors price was not an object, performance reliability and the look were our main reasons when searching so most of our products come from Europe which are the leaders of roller shutters manufacturing.

Why you should avoid back yard operators?

People are easily lured towards backyard operators for one reason only cheap prices and the reason they are lured by the cheap prices is because most buyers think that all roller shutters are the same or very similar with no noticeable differences but that couldn't be further from the truth the best way to explain it is very simple from 200 metres distance if you looked at a car you would know that is was a car but you wouldn't know what make or model to see the make and model you need to be within 50 metres away to see the build quality of the car you need to be within 1 metre of the car it’s the same with roller shutters from a distance they all look the same or similar its only up close is when you can tell the difference, beware of the cheap shutters from backyard operators.

How to find good looking ones ?

That’s easy. We, at ultimate shutter have gone to great lengths to create the best looking roller shutters in Australia the first thing we did was to reduce the overall size of the box that the shutter rolls up into then we had a good look at the colours and found that colorbond colours are the most popular colours in Australia last but not least the colours that are traditionally a semi gloss to gloss finish with a orange peel textured finish have been changed to Matt smooth finish which give the shutters a very modern trendy look compared to everyone else's roller shutters so our roller shutters look very different to other shutters.
