Security Shutters Overview
SECURITY MATTERS, BUT DON’T COMPROMISE ON STYLE.
There are many effective security barriers (window shutters, 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
