by Adnan Khan Rhino Sydney Roller Shutters

Be it commercial or residential, safeguarding your valuables and family worth a reward. In order to give an added layer of protection to your home; business or store front, high-end roller shutters are installed. These amazing protective shields are not new kids on the block. They became popular in 1970s and primarily used as a replacement for the sliding doors made of wood which were common during those periods. During those days, these aluminium doors were commonly known as industrial doors and were installed in the large openings to shift equipments in and out of the industries. 

In order to be a responsible property owner and taking care of your belongings in a better way with roller shutters, take these New Year’s resolutions for 2016.

Avoid improper use

Shutters get damaged due to improper handling and lack of maintenance. Therefore, take resolution to operate your roll-up shutter with care. Not only you, everyone else who opens or close the shutter must do it carefully. This will result in smooth operation for a longer tenure.  Likewise, you should also check the pelmet sweep out the leaves, dirt and twigs that might have amassed. Follow some general safety instructions like keeping the shutter either fully opened or completely closed during heavy storm. Check if it has wind speed warranty. If you are using it as sun protection, it is recommended not to roll down the curtain entirely. This ensures ventilation and reduces the chances of deformation due to extreme heat if you have PVC shutters.   

Automatic or battery-operated shutters for smart choice

For functional convenience, manually operated shutters are transforming into battery-operated, remote-controlled or automatic mechanism. If you have conventional roller shutters, convert them to automatic or remote-controlled shutters this New Year because they are very easy to operate and functions quickly. They have added features such as auto limit settings that lift and close as per the time setting, obstacle sensor technology that stops the motor automatically if mechanical failures are detected.

Local manufacturers for customized products

Local manufactures are well aware of the Australian climate and they build the products in a way that can stand tall to the adverse weather condition. Locally manufactured products are more durable. Besides, there are few manufacturing firms in Sydney that can build customized items as per the design, layout and measurement of your store front, garage door, window etc. Another advantage of locally made products is that, you can contact the manufacturer any time in case of installation issues or malfunctions.  So, if you are planning to purchase new rolling shutter for your building, give thumbs up to local manufacturers this coming year.

Know the type of shutters before purchasing

Don’t be an illiterate. Before buying a shutter, clear out your purpose. Is it to add protection; block the sun rays; reduce the noise or to enhance the look and feel?
