A roller shutter is an external sun shading system fitted to a window or patio door. This sun shading system offers effective privacy, heat protection and glare control.
A roller shutter consists of the following components:
- Roller shutter curtain: this consists of several aluminium or plastic profiles which can be lowered in front of a window.
- Guide rails: responsible for guiding the roller curtain and preventing it from sustaining damage by being pressed inwards and outwards by the wind.
- Box: the box protects the rolled-up roller shutter curtain from wind and weather. It also adds a fitting design element to the facade. The roller shutter box is the housing that protects the inner workings of the roller shutter, including the fabric shaft, the roller shutter motor and the wound-up roller shutter curtain Depending on the roller shutter type, the box will either be integrated into the facade or installed on the outside of the facade.
- Shaft: the roller shutter curtain is wound onto this.
- Drive element: motor, crank or belt that can be used to open and close your roller shutter.

The main difference between rollers shutters and roller blinds is where they are attached. Roller shutters are external sun shading systems , whereas roller blinds are fitted inside. The materials also vary significantly. Roller shutters are made from aluminium or plastic, whereas roller blinds are made from fabric.
Roller shutters and external venetian blinds are both external sun shading systems. This means they are installed outside in front of the window and have numerous advantageous features.
External venetian blinds are particularly well suited to living and work rooms as they permit daylight guidance to be adjusted as required. On the other hand, roller shutters have a reliable black-out effect, making them ideal for bedrooms and rooms that require privacy. These robust and durable systems also provide noise protection.
Benefits of aluminium roller shutters:
Thanks to their top stability and high quality, aluminium roller shutter curtains are ideal for large windows. Aluminium gives the roller shutters a long product life and great winding behaviour. In addition, it's weather-proof with colourfast and form resistant properties despite high solar radiation. You can also select the perfect colour for your aluminium roller shutters from a wide range of eye-catching colours.
Benefits of plastic roller shutters:
Plastic roller shutters are the more cost-effective variant and the suitable solution for small windows. Plastic isn't suitable for large windows due to a lack of stability. In addition, slats made from PVC offer great heat insulation and increase energy savings.
Solar roller shutters use a motor supplied by a solar panel and rechargeable battery. This can avoid a mains cable at the window and is useful for selected retrofit situations. Compatibility depends on the roller shutter system, façade orientation and installation conditions. See the information on
You should hire a specialist fitting company qualified to install roller shutters. Window manufacturers or sun shading system specialised retailers are another alternative.
The window manufacturer or specialised retailer for sun shading systems usually installs the roller shutters and boxes.
