Security matters, but don’t compromise on style.

There are many effective security barriers (wooden shutters, indoor shutters, external shutters, bathroom shutters, white shutters, bedroom shutters, patio shutters, bi-fold shutters etc)on the market, but only a few that look as good as they work. Opposed to rugged burglar bars and security gates, AMERICAN shutters’ aluminium Security Shutters have a sophisticated and refined style.

Strength and security are the hallmarks of our built-to-last security shutters. Suitable for both doors and windows, these custom-made aluminium louvred shutters are built for security and boast some impressive patented built-in strengthening and safety features.

  • The attention to detail is stand-alone in the market; from the tamper-proof anti-corrosion aluminium hinges to the top and bottom locking rod and strip-proof Italian locks.
  • Hidden in the aluminium framework, the ‘Gear Tilt’ system is unique to AMERICAN shutters. This system nullifies the need for unsightly tilt rods allowing unobstructed views between the louvres.
  • The new system has undergone stringent tests and the results prove consistent, efficient, smooth and problem-free operation. Tests simulated daily opening and closing of the louvres over a ten-year period.
  • Locally manufactured from architectural grade aluminium, the shutters are suitable for interior as well as exterior use, perfect for South African conditions.
