There are various types of roller shutters based on material, quality and strength rating, but the most common difference is motorised vs manually operated roller shutters.
Motorised/automated roller shutters are fitted with a motor that raises or lowers the shutters on command. Manually operated shutters are fitted with a winder inside the home and can be turned to raise or lower the shutter as designed. -
Installing roller shutters in your home has a lot of advantages, namely:
- Security and break-in protection. Roller shutters act as a visual deterrent and makes it hard for people to break into your home through the glass windows.
- Insulation. Roller shutters help stop heat from entering or leaving your home, as well as reduce the transmission of noise by up to 10 decibels.
- Lighting and privacy control. Installing roller shutters gives you control over the amount of light that can enter your home, as well as protect you and your home from prying eyes.
- Weather proofing. Koala Shutters can supply roller shutters which are weather resistant including storm proof and fire proof options.

A ‘reveal fit’ roller shutter is when the box guide and curtain are installed within the window opening, so from the inside the house looking through the window you’ll see the guide and box. ‘On Wall’ means the guide and box are outside the frame of the widow, meaning it will barely be seen from inside.
