What's the difference between the Domestic Rollershutter and the Commercial Rollershutter

The commercial rollershutter can span up to 4200mm for large windows in a single span. The shape of the commercial rollershutter slat profile has been designed specifically to suit the Commercial roller shutter market along with many Domestic applications. The German built roll forming machine is the most advanced of its type in Australia today. The AR551 series slat is a double walled cavity, curved 55mm profile with PU foam injected during the roll forming process it's. Nominal Thickness: 13.6mm This process provides economical strength and insulation qualities. The curved shape of the slat provides minimal roll sizes and optimal lateral strength. It's down falls are Price, and no Bush Fire Rating. For this reason the domestic rollershutter is still the most popular rollershutter on the market.

Perforated Slat

The slats that make up the curtain come in two types, perforated and non-perforated. The top of the slat has an 8mm hook hinge which attaches to the bottom of the next slat. When the curtain is being raised the slats have a 4mm gap, this gap then allows the curtain to be wound tightly around the round axle. In this gap you will see the perforations which are 15mm x 2mm and are spaced every 15mm. The curtain can be stopped before it is fully extended this gives you the option of being able to see through the curtains perforations and allowing air flow

These perforations are not on our Security Rollershutters, the Security Rollershutter is an extruded slat profile ideal for commercial use or where added strength and security is required. The profile itself has a hollow section and is available in a 40mm curved slat.

Is the outside concave

The rollershutter slat on the outside is concave. The curved shape of the slat provides minimal roll sizes and optimal lateral strength. Rollershutters started in Europe where they are inbuilt at the time of construction of the dwelling in which the head box is in the cavity of the wall which is opposite to installation in Australia. All Rollershutters in Australia are of European design. Ozroll's machines are from Germany and they supply 80% of the Rollershutter market

Cable Hole

The best way to drill the Cable Hole for an In-Reveal Rollershutters installation, is to mark the exact position of the Cable Hole in the reveal, and drill a 12mm hole 5mm deep.
From this starter hole you can now drill a 10mm hole at about 30-60 degree angle, this angel determines how close or how far away the controller will be from the window. This hole then gives you a straight cable hole, from the reveal to the back of the wall plate. This hole is then covered by the controller's wall plate which is 75mm wide, which will cover up most misaligned holes. We have found this to be the best way
This hole will need a 300mm x 10mm masonry drill bit depending on wall thickness these drill bits generally cost around $15 - $20

The height of the Rollershutters is the over all height which includes the head box.

Hand wind rollershutters

Sorry but we don't supply hand wind rollershutters, we have found that they are too difficult for people to install, unless you can get a experienced rollershutter installer, in that case we can help, but they would cost the same price as a battery rollershutter, which is just push a button, and walk away and let the controller do the work. So that is why we will only supply battery or electric rollershutters

Fitting a rollershutter to a corner window

You will need an adjustable corner plate and one of the rollershutters must be 22mm longer (the guides are 22mm thick) this allows you to fix the face of one guide to the edge of the other guide creating a 90dergee angle in which the corner plate is riveted. The other end of the corner plate is then fastened to the window frame, the corner plate is adjustable so it can fit onwall or inreveal fixings. The corner plate comes in the colours of the box and guides the adjustable corner plate is $40



How to measuring your corner window for a rollershutter

Measure the depth of the reveal, and then mark this depth on the corner of the sill, on these two points draw a line in pencil on the corner end on of the sill, do this to both sides this will give you the exact inside corner of the guides, the guides are 22mm thick so add 22mm to one rollershutter. Don't forget to add the 55mm to the other end so it can be fixed onwall (for onwall fixing only)


Can Rollershutters Operate on an Angle?

No, rollershutters need the weight of the curtain to fully close and for the curtain to move freely down the guides. If the curtain doesn't move freely the curtain will unwind in the head box.

 

Battery Controller

On our website go to the products tab on the left hand side, then click on info, when in info click battery shutters this will show you the battery controller and how close it is to the window and the size of the controller. When the controller is fully charged it will open and close your average size rollershutter 40 times before recharging and should last at least 5 years. One controller can operate all the shutter in your house saving you $70 per rollershutter but we suggest at least one controller per room

I will be mounting in reveal, I guess the guides comes a little longer so they can be cut to size and angle?

No the guides are to the exact size you order, so add 15mm for the angle cut

 

One window has a 12mm greater width a the top, The shutters are to be installed in reveal, is there a recommended way to pack out this difference or any solutions?

The best solution is to install the rollershutter on the wall not in the reveal or

2 aluminium angles 24mmx22mm or 24mmx46mmthe same colour as the box and guide can be supplied. The angle is then fixed to the wall, then fixed to the guide this will take up the 12mm
