What to look for while buying Roller Shutters?

When making the decision to purchase roller shutters it is important to consider the quality of the product and service that will be offered throughout the lifespan of your roller shutter as roller shutters are permanently fixed once installed and, being custom made cannot be used elsewhere. The first thing to consider should be how responsive the company is to your calls, emails & chats and how fast you can get your quote as this will give you a good indication of how the business operates, if they are slow to react it will generally mean that they don’t have the right systems in place or they don’t care.

Where Do Ultimate Shutter Customers Come From?

Do you wonder if shutters will look out of place in your neighbourhood? Are they a “Melbourne thing?” Where, exactly, do roller shutters get installed?

Our customers often ask us about how similar homes and similar owners deal with roller shutters. Do they go with every house? Do they fit the neighbourhood aesthetics?

We wondered the same thing so we plotted the last 250 orders of our best quality roller shutters on a map of Australia to show you exactly where our customers are buying from and then we zoomed in on each city to show you the most common suburbs for roller shutters in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide & Brisbane.

We should note that there’s a bit of a bias in this type of survey. We rarely do orders & installations that are in the most remote parts of Australia simply because it’s very difficult to have an installer in the middle of the outback. We are able to service roughly 93% of the Australian public but there are around 1.6 million Aussies living outside of 100km from these cities that are simply more difficult to help.

Who Buys Roller Shutters in Australia

First, let’s look at the overview of Australia.

Our last 250 customers came from all six states & territories although the majority of shutter installations are done within 60-100km of a major city. The five major cities accounted for around 78% of these sales. Melbourne had the maximum number of customers for our Ultimate Roller Shutters but was spread from Werribee to Pakenham and down to Frankston. Sydney, Brisbane & Perth were surprisingly close 2nd, 3rd & 4th while Adelaide finished last of the major cities with around 7% of our last 250 sales.

What does this map tell us? Roller shutters are common in all parts of Australia. From the cold winters of Melbourne & Tassy through the 50-degree summers of Darwin, homeowners all want to save money on energy costs and protect their property.
