Choice 2: Operation of the roller shutter
For the operation of your aluminium roller shutter, you have the choice of manual operation or electric operation. Keep in mind that aluminium is a relatively heavy material and manual operation is therefore less user-friendly than an electric roller shutter. To determine which option best suits your needs, the cost overview below will help you.

|---|---|---|
| Standard strap winder | – | |
| Band winding with rod | £ 50 | |

Choice 3: Shutter colour and casing
The choice of your shutter colour and the casing in which your aluminium shutter is rolled up do not affect the price, but they are important for the appearance of your shutter. The usual colours for aluminium roller shutters are white, light grey, beige, black or dark blue. For the roller shutter box, you have the choice of a round aluminium box or a bevelled aluminium box. The price and quality are the same in both cases, the choice is purely a matter of taste.
Choice 4: Installation by a specialist
In order to prevent damage to the frame or facade of your house, we recommend that you have your aluminium roller shutter installed by a specialist. The price of a properly fitted roller shutter for your window is shown below. Prices vary depending on the provider.

You have a choice of 3 types of roller shutters:
- Front roller shutter:A front roller shutter is often installed on already existing houses. You do not need to demolish anything for this, as the roller shutter is simply mounted on the current window frame.
- Built-on shutter:Built-on shutters are suitable for both new buildings and already existing houses. However, this involves demolishing the old window and fitting a new window with a shutter mounted on it as one unit.
- Recessed roller shutter:A built-in roller shutter is a common choice for newly built houses. Here, you have the roller shutter fitted between the facade and the house, so you don’t see the shutter box. This provides a sleek finish and modern look.
Choice 5: Extra options
By going for extra options, your aluminium roller shutter will meet all your needs. These are the most popular additional options:
| Product | Average price per unit, incl. vat | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-optil springs | £5 | Feathers that make it impossible for burglars to push the shutter up |
| Lacquer pen | £12 | To mask minor damage |
| Insect screen | £75 | Keeps critters out in summer |
| Sun sensors | £ 180 | Shutter opens or closes automatically when the sun shines (adjustable) |
| Motion detector | £250 | Shutter closes automatically if an intruder stays at your window or door for a long time |
| Home motion system | £500 | Wireless control of the shutter. Also possible via tablet or smartphone for when you are not at home and you have forgotten to lower your roller shutter. |
