Residential Roller Shutter Doors in Roodepoort

• Insulated aluminium, quiet running
• Battery backup for load shedding

Residential roller shutter doors in Roodepoort are usually fitted to three kinds of opening: a patio or stacking door, a garage, and a side entrance nobody watches. The suburbs run from the older single-garage stock through Florida, Discovery, Witpoortjie and Maraisburg to the newer clusters in Wilgeheuwel, Amorosa, Willowbrook and Ruimsig, and the right door is different in each.

Residential roller shutter doors we install in Roodepoort

• Patio and stacking door shutters that close a large glass opening without blocking it during the day.
• Garage roller shutters where headroom will not take a sectional door.
• Side and service entrance shutters on the openings that get used to get in.
• Window shutters where a room needs closing off while the house is empty.

Roller shutters for older Roodepoort houses

Houses built through the 1960s to the 1980s in Florida Park, Horizon View, Princess and Discovery have narrow garages and low headroom. A roller shutter is often the only door that fits, because it needs almost no ceiling space compared with a sectional or a tip-up door.

Roller shutters in complexes and estates

Cluster developments through Wilgeheuwel, Amorosa, Ruimsig and Strubensvallei usually have body corporate rules on external appearance. We work to the approved colour and profile and provide the specification in writing so the trustees have something to approve rather than a photograph after the fact.

Insulation, light and privacy

A closed shutter over a west-facing patio does more than secure it. On the ridge through Helderkruin and Roodekrans the afternoon sun and the wind both arrive from the same direction, and a shutter takes the edge off both. Perforated curtains let light through where a room should not go completely dark.

Motorised residential shutters

Motorised shutters get closed every night; heavy manual ones do not. We fit tube motors inside the barrel with a remote and a wall switch, and every install has a manual release for outages. Where the household wants it, shutters can run on a timer or off the alarm system.

Finishes and colours

Powder-coated aluminium and steel in the colour of the window frames or the wall. A shutter that matches the trim is invisible when it is open, which is most of the time.

Maintenance on a home shutter

Very little, but not nothing. Guides need cleaning, because the grit that blows across the West Rand collects in them and makes the curtain run heavy. An annual service costs less than the motor it protects.

What a residential roller shutter door costs in Roodepoort

Priced on opening size, curtain type, finish and whether it is motorised. We measure on site, because reveals on older houses are rarely square and a door built to a tape measurement from a photo does not fit.
