Installation of aluminum hinged shutters in Belgium
Do you want to install aesthetic, durable, and maintenance-free shutters? The aluminum hinged shutter is a high-end solution that adapts to all architectural styles. Valued for its robustness and modernity, it is perfectly suited for energy renovation, security, and property enhancement projects.
At Avenir Rénovations Belgium, we ensure the custom installation of aluminum hinged shutters, both in new builds and in renovation, with or without motorization.
The aluminum shutter blind is an excellent compromise between performance, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance. It combines the advantages of lightweight metal with a modern design, suitable for both contemporary homes and more traditional houses.
Contemporary aesthetics and customization
Aluminum allows for great design freedom. It is available in a wide range of RAL colors, with matte, satin, or textured finishes, and in several panel shapes (solid, louvered, with bars and braces, vertical or horizontal slats).
This material adapts well to urban planning regulations in rural areas as well as to the aesthetic requirements of modern developments.
Weather resistance
Aluminum does not rust and does not deform. It is perfectly suited to the Belgian climate, which is humid, windy, or subject to temperature variations. It withstands impacts, UV rays, and acid rain, without tarnishing or becoming fragile over time.
Thermal and acoustic insulation
Some models of aluminum shutter blinds are designed with thermal break, which improves their performance in terms of insulation against cold and noise disturbances. When combined with high-performance glazing, they help enhance the overall comfort of the home.
Minimal maintenance
A simple cleaning with clear or soapy water is enough to maintain the appearance of the blind. Unlike wood, no treatment, paint, or stain is necessary.
Detailed steps of an aluminum shutter project with Avenir Rénovations Belgium
Each project for installing aluminum shutters receives tailored support to ensure an aesthetic, high-performance result that complies with current standards. Here is the complete process, from the first contact to commissioning.
1 - Free technical study at home
Before any intervention, a specialized technician comes on-site to perform a complete analysis of your configuration:
Taking precise measurements for each opening (windows, French doors, sliding glass doors)
Assessment of the flatness and condition of the supporting wall
Verification of the presence of existing hinges, their condition, spacing, and compatibility with future shutters
Identification of any technical or regulatory constraints (property line, party wall, classified areas)
Discussion of your needs: level of obscuration, security, design, possible motorization
Presentation of samples of shades, panel types, hardware options
Following this diagnosis, we provide you with a detailed quote, including the selected options, type of installation, and estimated timelines.
2 - Model selection and customization
Once the quote is accepted, we finalize with you the complete customization of your shutters:
Shape of the panels: straight, arched, lowered arched
Type of panel: solid for obscuration and security, louvered for ventilation, or combined
Number of panels: single, double, or triple panel depending on width and desired aesthetics
Colors: choice from a wide RAL palette, with options for matte, satin, or textured finishes
Accessories: Spanish locks, Marseille stops, black or white hinges, reinforcement bars, anti-detachment security
Motorization (optional): type of opening, power supply, wall switch or remote control, solar motorization
Each shutter is then custom manufactured in a certified partner workshop, according to the validated technical specifications.
3 - Site preparation
Before the intervention, our teams:
Schedule the intervention on the agreed date with you
Check the site logistics (access to the facade, road authorization if necessary, parking location, etc.)
Prepare the necessary equipment and materials (installation templates, stainless steel screws, wedges, specific fixings)
On the day of the intervention, we protect the surroundings of each opening (window sill, existing shutters to be removed, exterior cladding) to avoid any damage.
4 - Removal of the existing (if replacement)
In case of renovation, we proceed with the removal of the old shutters, respecting the supports:
Dismantling of existing panels and hinges
Extraction of old fixings
Filling and possible repair of sealing holes or wall irregularities
Disposal of removed elements or storage for reuse if requested
This step allows for starting on a solid base for a durable and perfectly aligned fixing.
5 - Installation of aluminum hinged shutters
The installation follows a rigorous process:
Dry fitting of the panel or aluminum frame (if installed on a frame)
Drilling and sealing of the hinges or pivots to the wall with suitable plugs
Precise adjustment of plumb and alignment to ensure smooth closing
Fixing of stops (floor or wall-mounted) and closing systems (espagnolette, lock, latch)
Installation of safety and finishing accessories
Our installers use professional equipment and comply with Belgian standards for the installation of exterior joinery.
6 - Verification, finishing and client handover
Once the installation is complete, we carry out a series of checks:
Complete opening and closing of the shutters
Verification of symmetry and squareness
Control of fixings and proper functioning of the hardware
Adjustment of stops and locks
Cleaning of the intervention area
We finally provide you with warranty documents, a maintenance guide, and answer all your questions regarding daily use or potential future motorization.
