Aluminium Slat Roller Shutters

Knightguard Shuttergrille aluminium commercial roller shutters are the robust roller shutters in the Knightguard range providing an eye-catching appearance. They also maximise limited space - by rolling up and out of the way they provide an unobstructed passageway when open. They are suitable for your commercial shop front, shopping centre, shop window, retail outlet, warehouse, factory, storage area, servery, counter, bar, pub, hotel, kitchen, kiosk, cafe and restaurant roller shutter needs.

The robust aluminium construction of the Knightguard range of roller shutters combined with the Shuttergrille's roller shutter curtain made from alternating extruded aluminium "plate" slats interlinked with extruded aluminium connecting rods provides a robust construction while sections of the Knightguard Shuttergrille's roller shutter curtain can optionally incorporate punch-outs for visibility, light transmission and air flow.

The compact roll size means the Knightguard Shuttergrille roller shutter will take up less space and be suitable for smaller openings or restricted head room than comparable roller grille products.

Knightguard Shuttergrille roller shutters are easy to use and operate with both manual and a variety of electric control options available.

Advanced Shutter Industries has been a manufacturer of roller shutters and roller grilles since 1976 and continues to offer some of the best products available in Australia today.

Knightguard Shuttergrille aluminium commercial roller shutters are simple to use and operate with a variety of manual and electric motor controlled lifting mechanisms available, giving you full control over your environment. Operation, opening and closing, locking and unlocking is customised to your needs so you choose how and where you want to open and close your Knightguard Shuttergrille aluminium commercial roller shutters, whether it is from the inside, outside, both inside and outside, via keylock, hasp and staple, electric key lock or radio control.

Electric Motor roller shutter lifting mechanism

The most convenient way to open and close roller shutters is to opt for the electric motor option. A range of electric tubular motors and accessories are available from Advanced Shutter Industries for roller shutters which includes:

240V mains powered tubular electric motors for roller shutters operated by hand-held radio remote control;
240V mains powered tubular electric motors for roller shutters operated by a wall switch or keyed wall switch;
Group controls to simultaneously operate a number of electric roller shutters with a single switch;
Wind and rain sensors and timers to automatically open or close your electric roller shutters;
Back-up power for 240V mains powered electric roller shutters via Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), so in a power outage you can still open or close your roller shutters;
Free-wheeling safety clutch to avoid roller shutter damage if an obstruction is encountered while closing the roller shutter; and
Manual Override mechanisms as a safeguard to allow manual opening and closing of your roller shutters in case of a power outage.

Electric tubular motors for roller shutters are suitable for all roller shutter sizes all the way up to 250kg in weight.

Spring assist lifting mechanism

Roller shutters fitted with an assist spring as the lifting mechanism allow the roller shutter curtain to be physically raised and lowered by hand. The assist spring balances the weight of the roller shutter curtain and makes lifting and lowering the roller shutter easier and safer. Spring assist lifting mechanisms are suitable for roller shutters starting from 1.0 m wide. For commercial roller shutters wider than 2.7 m fitting a second assist spring is highly recommended to avoid axle torsion and ensure even lifting. In any case, we recommend use of an electric motor for roller shutters weighing more than 60 kg or wider than 3.0 m.

Colours and finish of roller shutter guides, rails and aluminium slats

Standard finish for all visible aluminium components on Knightguard Shuttergrille aluminium roller shutters is clear anodised matt finish.
