Thermal, acoustic and anti-burglary protection: why exterior roller shutters are one of the best investments for a home.
Exterior roller shutters are mounted over the existing windows and transform home comfort. Here is why they are worth it.
Key advantages
- Extra thermal insulation – less heat lost in winter and less heat in during summer
- Acoustic insulation – they cut street noise
- Visible anti-burglary protection, as a first line of deterrence
- Protection against hail, wind and driving rain
- Fine control of light and privacy
- Option to integrate an insect screen
Manual or electric?
Electric versions with remote control (or Somfy automation) are increasingly popular for comfort, especially on tall windows or groups of several shutters.
