New build or retrofit? – Alulux roller shutters for every house

Roller shutters are really multitalented: they protect you from curious onlookers and strong sunlight, act as an effective obstacle to deter intruders, darken living space where required and also help to improve heat insulation in the house. There are various types of roller shutter types to choose from depending on the installation situation. However, you should always choose high-quality Alulux roller shutters made from durable aluminium. Specialists distinguish between three types: integrated roller shutters, add-on roller shutters and front-mounted roller shutters.
 
Integrated roller shutters are primarily suited to new buildings. During construction, the roller shutter is either placed in a roller shutter box above the window opening in the building shell, in a suitable façade component or in a cavity designed specifically for this purpose. Once opened, the roller shutter disappears into the brickwork and is therefore protected from the elements.
 
With add-on roller shutters however the roller shutter box is attached to the window and is integrated into this in a single step. They are either fully or partially visible.
 
Alulux front-mounted roller shutters are primarily designed for retrofits. The roller shutter is fitted to the window or the façade, which is ideal for retrofits to old buildings. The many advantages of installations on the ground floor or at a window with a flower box can also be implemented for the other windows of the house using roller shutters. As they can be seen easily from the outside, front-mounted roller shutters are also a design element. Boxes in a wide range of different shapes and colours can be coordinated to match the house façade perfectly.

A specialist Alulux dealer from the association of roller shutter and sun protection technicians will advise and inform you about the best Alulux product to use to retrofit your house or flat. They will also provide professional assembly services and will fit a motor and control system on request. This will enable the roller shutters to roll up and down automatically at a set time.
