Why it may not be the best idea to conceal or box up your roller shutter box?

We all know that every set of roller shutter comes with a roller cabinet or sometimes called roller shutter box located right at the top portion of the shutter.

Roller Shutter Sizes & Dimensions. Are there Standard Sizes for Roller Shutters?

Roller shutters can be in various sizes as they are meant for many different types of industrial, commercial or landed properties in Singapore (i.e Factory, Warehouse, Retail Shops, Coffee Shops, Food Court, Hawker Centre, Shophouses, Bungalow etc.)

Therefore, it will be advisable to take the actual on-site measurements of the roller shutters for a more accurate quotation. If you happen to know or have an estimate of the dimensions of the roller shutters, it will also help you to get a better indication of the price of the roller shutters & make better decisions.

The type of material selected for your shutters will also make a difference in the quotation. 

Hence, it is advisable to select the right dimensions & materials for your roller shutters based on your business needs & requirements.

For example, if lightweight is important to you, one may ask for customised aluminium roller shutters to nicely fit the opening & protect your premises effectively.

Roller Shutters are custom made products that are made to measure based on the size of the entrance of your premise

Roller shutters do not work like wooden doors that can be found at the entrances of your residential homes.

All roller shutters regardless of type are in fact made to measure according to the size of the entrance of your premise.

Because roller shutters are all custom made and are not off the shelf products, the manufacturing process may take up to a few days to be completed.

For powder coated roller shutters, the manufacturing process would be just slightly longer as a coat of colour will be added.

The installation process may take up to a few hours to complete depending on the type and size of your roller shutters.

For roller shutter repairs, it is advisable that you notify your trusted roller shutter specialist as soon as a damage or problem occurs as certain parts of your roller shutters may need to be replaced.

For replacement of damaged roller shutter parts, it may take some time as certain parts may require customisation to fit the size of your premise.

Hence, it is always a good idea to confirm your orders early or in advance so that your roller shutters can be installed or repaired in time.

While most business owners choose aluminium roller shutters or aluminium flat slats roller shutters in natural anodised finish to be exact, there are some clients who require a specific see through feature for their roller shutters.

This group of clients usually own or manage commercial retail shops. Due to their nature of business, it can be useful for them to install sets of roller shutters which would allow their potential customers to see through and find out what their shops are selling or if there are any ongoing promotions.

It can be beneficial to shop owners or tenants because a shop does not typically open for 24 hours and while the shop is closed for the night, people who pass by these shops are still able to check out what are the products on sale at your premises.

There are a few types of roller shutters with such specific see through feature in Singapore which will be listed below:

Aluminium Flat Slats with Acrylic Strips Roller Shutters

This type of aluminium roller shutters are punched with holes and are inserted with acrylic strips. They are lightweight in nature and yet allow your customers to view your products on sale within your premises.

Aluminium Roller Grilles (In-line or Brick Bond Design)

Aluminium roller grilles are made from aluminium tubes which are secured together. Besides being lightweight, this type of roller shutters also allow your customers to see through and find out more about your products even when your shop is closed.

Aluminium Roller Grilles with Acrylic Strips

Just like aluminium roller grilles, this type of roller shutters are manufactured using aluminium tubes and are inserted with acrylic strips which also come with the see through feature.

Polycarbonate Multi-Vision Panel Roller Shutters

This type of roller shutters are manufactured using polycarbonate. Due to the nature of material, polycarbonate multi-vision panel roller shutters or sometimes known as MVPS allow your products to be displayed prominently within your premises even when you are closed for the night.

Perforated Steel Roller Shutters

Perforated steel roller shutters are manufactured using steel. This type of steel roller shutters come with small perforations (holes) and only allow passersby to see what is within your premises when the lights are turned on.

When the lights are not turned on, passersby will not be able to see what is in your premises clearly.

The above types of roller shutters with see through feature can be manufactured to be motorised or manually operated depending on the size of your entrance and requirements.

For larger openings, it is recommended to be motorised as it would not make good sense to be lifting too much weight on a daily basis.

Roller Shutters are sometimes also known as Roller Shutter Doors because Roller Shutters are in fact doors that can be seen at almost all types of commercial, industrial and sometimes even landed properties in Singapore.

Just like how wooden doors are found at the entrances of almost all residential properties throughout Singapore, roller shutters are the most popular type of doors which can be found at commercial and industrial properties such as coffee shops, hawker centres, markets, food courts, restaurants, shopping malls, retail shops, canteens, factories, warehouses, schools, showrooms, MRT stations, hotels, carparks and supermarkets.

These doors are sometimes also known as rolling shutters, shutter doors, industrial doors however the most commonly known name for them in Singapore is actually ‘Roller Shutters’.
