Shutter installation in Wavre

Security and thermal performance of shutters in Wavre

Shutters directly contribute to the security and insulation of the home.

Anti-burglary protection

A closed roller shutter is a physical barrier to burglary. Thick aluminum slats resist attempts at manual forcing. Modern boxes have anti-lifting systems that lock the slats in the lowered position. For the most exposed areas, reinforced slats with stapled blades are available.

Reduction of thermal losses

A closed roller shutter creates an air cushion between the glazing and the slats that reduces nighttime thermal losses. The effect is more pronounced with a well-insulated box that prevents thermal bridges above the lintel. In a house with many openings, systematically closing the shutters in winter can reduce heating consumption by five to ten percent.

Maintenance of shutters in Wavre

Minimal maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of shutters and the motorization mechanism.

Roller shutters: the slats and the box

• Cleaning the slats with soapy water twice a year
• Checking the proper alignment of the slats in their tracks
• Lubricating the tracks with silicone spray (no greasy grease)
• Checking the bottom seals of the slats for tightness and insulation

Shutter panels: hinges and fixings

The hinges of shutter panels should be lubricated once a year to prevent squeaking and premature wear. Check that the systems holding them open function correctly: a shutter that slams in the wind can damage the hinges in a few seasons. Made of aluminum or PVC, the profiles do not require painting, but an annual cleaning with clear water maintains their appearance.

The motorization: maintenance and lifespan

The motor of a quality roller shutter typically lasts ten to fifteen years. An unusual flicker or noise during winding often signals a need to recalibrate the end-of-travel adjustment, a simple operation that can be done in a few minutes.
