Rollac Rolling Shutters Benefits: Security for Home and Businesses
In 2024, the security industry has an estimated $23.7bn in the United States. From alarms and motion sensors to guard dogs and video cameras, a home or business owner can invest in hundreds of security measures to ensure their safety. Yet one of the oldest theft deterrents, security rolling shutters, intimidate potential burglars and offer several additional benefits to their owners.
From fires and hurricanes to safety and sun damage, there are many reasons to invest in security shutters for your business or home.
If you’re not convinced, read on to learn why we at Rollac are passionate about our security rolling shutters and wouldn’t operate a home or business without them.
Security Rolling Shutters for Businesses and Other Commercial Applications
Our commercial security shutters, ShopGuard Shutters, were created with the business in mind. Designed to protect your commercial enterprise from vandals, the ShopGuard features a unique single-wall design that rolls compactly into the box housing directly above. The look is clean and requires minimum installation space, all while providing commercial strength for protection.
Our ‘End Retention System,’ made of extruded aluminum for high impact resistance, offers an added security measure. It utilizes rails with a separate channel that accepts uniquely designed sidelocks. This system secures the rail and the shutter curtain together, providing much more resistance to the applied force.
Business owners can install the shutter inside or outside their windows and doors, whichever is most convenient. The ShopGuard shutter can be operated manually or automatically with a remote or switch. It is available in three designs: solid, rectangle, grid, or a combination.
Residential Security Shutters
There are residential shutters, and then there are our DuraComfort Residential Shutters, which provide the ultimate protection for your home.
Our DuraComfort home security shutters are made of solid aluminum profiles, providing mechanical strength and durability. They can also have a lift prevention system, preventing outsiders from lifting the curtain and trying to break in.
The DuraComfort shutters can be opened and closed manually or electronically. They are available in regular foam, where legal protection is needed, or double foam, which provides extra security for your home.
Additional Benefits of Security Rolling Shutters
Just because Rollac’s roller shutters offer excellent security protection from vandals and theft doesn’t mean they can’t perform other functions, including the following:
Hurricanes
At Rollac, our SecuraMax shutters are the ultimate in heavy-duty hurricane protection. They’re designed to withstand the strongest impact of wind and torrential rains associated with hurricanes.
Though the cost of our hurricane shutters can vary depending on the size, the number of windows or doors you want to cover, and whether you choose manual or electric roll-down hurricane shutters, the quality of our product does not.
All SecuraMax shutters are made of thick, double-walled aluminum slats. They also have a lift prevention system that keeps heavy winds or intruders from lifting the metal curtain with an object (e.g., a crowbar).
Whether you own a storefront in a coastal city or a beachfront home, investing in this rolling security shutter provides excellent protection from hurricanes and anything else Mother Nature can throw, including high winds, dust storms, and horizontal rain; the SecuraMax shutter can withstand it.
Visibility
Imagine you operate an independently owned-pharmacy in your neighborhood. Recently, there has been a rash of burglaries at other pharmacies in your town, and thousands of dollars of medication have been stolen. You’ve started researching security shutters for your pharmacy as a means of protection.
Commercial roll-up security shutters provide a high level of visibility for your business, and if a vandal sees them covering your pharmacy, they’ll think twice about burglarizing it. Rollac’s easy-to-secure roll-down security shutters can be installed inside and outside your business. They can also be adapted to protect valuable merchandise in your store that can’t be left out on display.
Energy Efficiency
If you live in a multi-story home with dozens of windows facing the ocean or have a small business in an area without shade, the sun will prove hard to evade.
It’s estimated that about 76% of the sunlight that hits a traditional double-panel window will enter a home or business and become heat. Yes, window coverings like curtains or blinds can help regulate the temperature and reduce energy costs. But installing rolling security shutters is an even better way to increase energy savings. Not only will they reduce your cooling bills, but they’ll also maintain a cooler interior temperature for your home or business.
Rollac’s unique Thermal Paint is designed as a top coat that reduces heat absorption even when coated with dark colors. The paint reflects solar energy, keeping the surface 10 degrees cooler.
Security shutters for your home or business can also protect the interiors from fading due to the sun’s harmful rays. Whether it’s furniture, rugs, or even the artwork on your walls, the sun’s UVs can quickly suck the color right out of a room, regardless if it’s a boardroom or bedroom. Installing automated exterior security shutters keeps the colors of your interior looking fresh and new.
Noise Reduction
Several factors should be considered when investing in commercial or residential security shutters. One is whether you want to block noise. For example, Rollac’s DuraComfort rolling security shutters are constructed using an environmentally friendly foam core. This provides added strength and rigidity, and the core absorbs noise. Not all business or home security shutters offer the ability to reduce noise. It depends on how they’re constructed. Blocking the outside noise can be calming and provide much-needed privacy if you need it.
