Are you tired of replacing your window panes or shutters made from other material due to damage caused by your kids or yourself by mistake? Aluminium shutters are just what you need to solve your problem. They are fairly popular, and dozens of manufacturers are now producing them due to the rising demand in the market. Here are some reasons as to why you should consider aluminium shutters in your house.

Advantages of using aluminium shutters

They can be used for both outdoor and indoor applications, not to mention you can use just about any type of coating on them and are easily customizable to fit on any window size. They have a neat appearance, open wide and close perfectly to block heat and sun rays. Aluminium shutters offer safety measures from an excessive amount of heat, wind and cold. They are also tough enough to prevent an event of breaking in since they are a lot harder than wood shutters and can't break easily. They also offer light control since they can be adjusted to allow a varying amount of sunlight without having to fully open them. Apart from their security, they can also be considered as a long-term investment because you don't have to get them regularly replaced.

What is the cost of aluminium shutters?

The cost of installation will depend on the size of your windows, quality and style in terms of functionality. Roll-down shutters are more permanent and are some of the strongest and most effective shutters in the market. The average cost of a window will range from $20 to $30 per square foot. The accordion is another type of shutter that is hinged to either side of a window. They are a bit cheaper than the roll-down shutters and will cost around $15 to $25 per square foot of the window size.

The least expensive type of shutters is the storm panel aluminium shutter design which is mostly mounted up on windows during storms. Their installation includes a steel channel bolted to the bottom of the window and can be dismounted when not in use. They generally cost from $7 to $15 each again depending on the size of your window. However, you can always choose a style that best suits you. Choices can be made to install an expensive style but reduce the size of the window to counter the expense and vice versa.
