The types of shutters available in Braine-l'Alleud

Each architectural configuration and usage calls for a different type of shutter. Here are the main solutions we install.

The motorized roller shutter

This is the most requested solution for renovations. Discreet when raised, light-tight when closed, the motorized roller shutter easily integrates with an existing window. Whether in visible tunnel or in a box under the lintel, we adapt the solution to the configuration of your facade. The motorization can be connected to home automation or simply controlled by remote.

The hinged shutter in aluminum or PVC

Hinged shutters give a traditional character to the facade and remain popular in classic Braine houses. Aluminum is the material that offers the best durability/maintenance ratio: no swelling, no repainting needed, available in all RAL colors. PVC is an economical alternative for tighter budgets.

The accordion shutter

On large bays or patio doors, the accordion shutter offers effective protection without requiring the lateral space that a hinged shutter needs. It folds in on itself and can be motorized. It is a common solution for verandas and garden side extensions.

What our installation service includes in Braine-l'Alleud

Avenir Rénovations takes care of the entire installation, from measurement to commissioning.

Replacement of existing shutters in Braine-l'Alleud

Many Braine homeowners have shutters that do not function properly: broken slats, stuck mechanisms, faulty motorization. Avenir Rénovations carries out complete replacement or repair depending on the condition of the existing product.

When to replace rather than repair

If the box is in good condition and only the slats or motorization are faulty, a repair is often the most economical solution. However, if the box is old, cracked, or poorly insulated, complete replacement is necessary. Shutter boxes from the eighties made of thick PVC are often poorly insulated thermally and create a significant thermal bridge under the window lintel. Replacing it with a modern insulated box improves both functionality and thermal performance.

Motorization of existing hinged shutters

It is possible to motorize existing hinged shutters in good condition by adding a motorized arm or an electric actuator on the hinges. This operation is less invasive than a complete replacement and allows you to keep the original shutters if their condition and aesthetics are still satisfactory. Avenir Rénovations assesses the feasibility of this motorization during the estimate visit.

Shutters and security in Braine-l'Alleud

Securing the home is a recurring concern for Braine homeowners who are regularly away, especially commuters working in Brussels. A roller shutter with thick steel or aluminum slats provides an effective barrier against break-ins. Combined with laminated glass frames and a reinforced front door, it contributes to a consistent overall security level for the home.

Shutters and energy savings in Braine-l'Alleud

Shutters are not just security and privacy equipment. They significantly contribute to the thermal insulation of the house when closed. A closed roller shutter at night reduces heat loss through the window by twenty to forty percent depending on the type of existing glazing. On windows with single or old double glazing that have not yet been replaced in Braine houses from the nineties, this insulating contribution is particularly noticeable during winter nights.

Automating the shutters with a timed schedule allows for systematic closing at night and opening in the morning without thinking. Programmed to close at sunset and open at wake-up time, they passively optimize thermal comfort throughout the year.

Shutters and facade in Braine-l'Alleud: aesthetic coherence

A shutter is visible from the street. Its color must be chosen in coherence with the color of the facade and the joinery of the house. In Braine-l'Alleud, red or beige brick facades pair well with shutters in off-white, anthracite gray (RAL 7016), or chestnut brown. Houses with light facades appreciate shutters in darker shades to create a structuring contrast. Our carpenters present color samples and can simulate the result on a photo of your facade before confirming the order.

Avenir Rénovations also offers maintenance and repair of existing shutters in Braine-l'Alleud: replacement of broken slats, repair of motorization, lubrication of mechanisms, and adjustment of end stops. If your existing shutter is still in good structural condition, a targeted intervention can restore several years of good operation at a significantly lower cost than complete replacement.
