Domestic Roller Shutters

Due to different styles, materials, colours, configurations, there are several roller shutter options to choose from. The amazing thing is that there is always a perfect solution for all windows and doors that will suit your design once you know how to best choose shutters for your home.

A good understanding of the different styles and colours of shutters and the benefits will guide you in deciding the roller shutter that works best for your windows and doors. Since shutters are a good investment, understanding the structure of your windows and doors is an essential factor when it comes to choosing one.

How to choose the right window shutter?

Finding the right window roller shutters can be overwhelming, especially considering different sizes and styles. You need to understand that the wrong choice of the shutter can affect the appeal of your home. So, here are four tips on how to choose the right window shutter for your home.

Size Your Shutters Correctly

Your shutter should fit your window size when closed and allowed to function. In a situation where your window is too close to the corner of your house, the shutter may stick out beyond the edge. However, if you have an installed siding in your house, you should ensure the shutter doesn’t stick out beyond the board.

Choose Complementary Shutter Colours

In this case, you need to go for the colour that best suits the most used colour in your home. We all know we are in the modern-day and there are no longer traditional style homes anymore, so the use of a bold tone like our Deep Ocean Blue, or a contrasting Black are still as great of choices as the more common neutrals such as grey, white and cream.

How to Choose Door Shutters?

Shutters were originally made for windows. Today, they are often used as a protective feature for windows and doors. These are things you must know to choose the right door roller shutter.

Material

Several materials can be used for shutters, but only a few are best suited for a door. Vinyl material is the best choice. However, nothing is better than a wooden shutter that is painted to match the exterior colour of your home or the one that brightens the entrance of your home. If you’re going to choose a door shutter for your home, choose a high-quality wood shutter. Metal shutters are good when you want to present your house with a touch of sophistication.

Colour

To choose the door shutter for your home, you must choose a colour that matches the exterior colour of your home. Just as the style of a shutter is important, so is the colour. If you plan to implement a door shutter in your home, then take note of the existing landscaping colour of your roof, windows, joinery and cladding. You can also take a sample of colour to your door at different hours so that you can know the best colour that fits your entrance.

Choosing the right colour shutter

When you are thinking of choosing the right colour shutter for your doors or windows, there are some factors to be considered. The first thing is the colour and the style of your home. Most of the time, a traditional-style home needs a white or black colour shutter, while a modern home needs a bright shutter colour.

In choosing the right colour shutter, you will want to choose the colour that matches your window and door frame, but for some people, the colour is only similar to the frames but not identical. Here are some factors to consider in choosing the right colour shutter for your home.

Warm tones

Warm colour windows and door shutters give your home a more comforting look. A warm colour shutter can be used most often if you are installing in a home with primarily cool wall colours and furniture. One of the benefits of warm tone colour is that it makes the shutter look more high quality to you and your visitors.

Cool tones

If you are looking for a natural look to your home, then a cool tone shutter is what you should choose. This is because a cool based colour makes your home neat.

Bold colour shutters

Using a bold or bright colour shutter will make your home look attractive, and when it is used together with a match the building, it looks really striking and eye-catching.

Neutral tones

The most commonly used shutter is a neutral tone colour. This type of colour includes white, cream and sand. Neutral colours have more benefits than other forms of colours. They match all interiors and exterior colours and make your home look attractive.

I can not recommend these guys enough! Great service and communication, and everyone I spoke to or met was lovely to deal with. We had bushfire shutters installed and I am so pleased with them - I smile every time I see or use them. I followed a recommendation, and am very happy I did. Also very competitive prices. Absolutely chuffed!

We recently had shutters installed on a complex rural site. Adam managed the installation around our build schedule and coordinated for all works to be resolved with clear communication. Thanks for the install, we trust the system will serve us well through a tough fire season ahead.

We had a small job, installation of bushfire shutters on a wide kitchen window and on a 2.4 metre high sliding glass door system. An initial contact via an internet search brought me to Adshutters and personally to Adam. He understood what was required, was very helpful, was quick in his responses and offered an incredibly competitive quote that could not be bettered. The installation team arrived on time and completed the job within 2 hours, tidied up after themselves leaving behind a neat bushfire protection system that was compliant, effective and at a great price. We were very impressed with the whole experience and am happy to recommend Adam and his team to all that might enquire.

Very happy with the job Adam and his guys have done for us on our recent renovations. To comply with bushfire regulations we had 13 Bal40 shutters installed. Adam worked with our builders, providing advice on how best to build them into the eaves and staged the install according to our build. He has also been very good to deal with if any problems have come up. And now that’s it’s all done (after initially not wanting shutters) they are one of my favourite things of our build. We chose the motorized option and due to how easy they are to use, we use them everyday to help regulate the interior temperature, they’ve negated the need for window coverings on most windows and they are amazing for providing darkness for bedrooms. Highly recommend Adshutters.

We purchased shutters for all of our windows just over 2 years ago. Adam and his team went above and beyond for us, visiting the property and taking measurements while the house was in the settlement process, so that shutters could be installed just days after we moved into the property. The installers were punctual, efficient, friendly and made sure to clean up any mess that was made as a result of the installation. The end result were shutters that look amazing, block out the light and heat when required and make our family feel safe and secure. I believe they actually improve upon the look of the house. Recently, we had a motor fail in one of the shutters. Adam sent one of his team around promptly to replace the motor at no charge. Very impressed with this service and the warranty offered on the motors. I have recommended AdShutters before, resulting in my sister having shutters fit to her house, even though she lived almost 2 hours from Sydney. I would not hesitate to recommend AdShutters to anyone. Don’t waste your time with anyone else. Adam prices competitively and the product is high quality and looks fantastic.

Adshutters recently installed shutters on our house. The experience was quick easy and the job was completed in a great time frame. The finished product is of high quality and the colour Adam suggested suits the house perfectly. I’m surprised how much heat and sound the shutters keep out. It’s a great product and the customer service was great, I would highly recommend this company to others.

We installed 5 bushfire shutters to our home during our recent renovations, two of which are 5 metres in length. Adam is knowledgeable and provided sound advice and input, working closely with our builders as to how the shutters can be installed.We needed the installation to be done just before Christmas 2016 in order to get our final certification. Adam and his team went out of their way during this busy period and installed the shutters on a Sunday to meet our deadline. He also came back subsequent to the installation to rectify some teething issues with the shutters.The shutters not only provide bushfire protection but also security and shield from the afternoon sun if required. Customer service from Adshutters is exemplary and we have an excellent product installed in our home. Adam Page is courteous, professional and I recommend him highly.
