their prices, their advantages and disadvantages

In a house, the shutters play a leading role. They improve thermal insulation, retain the glasses of bad weather and protect any attempt at intrusion. But even more, they ensure an aesthetic role that they come to embellish the facade thanks to the different materials and colors offered. However, it should be remembered that some aspects, in particular linked to the level of comfort, safety or even duration, may vary according to the type of shutter. Let’s take stock of the topic.

Roller shutters

In a new construction or renewed house, the roller shutter is the most common type of shutter despite being among the most expensive shutters on the market. For motorized models designed with resistant materials such as aluminum, their price is between 700 and 1000 €, excluding installation costs, from € 150 to € 300 for non -motorized models.

In addition to the fairly high acquisition price, the repair cost in the event of a failure can also fly depending on the extent of the problem. For a repair of the shutters in Caen at a low price, do not hesitate to go to the Removo website to find a specialized repairing ready to recommend you.

Despite their high price, the rollers are appealing to many users with their great practicality. In fact, the opening and closing are easy using a handle for manual models and via a remote control for electric or solar motorized models. It can also be connected to a home automation box that allows the remote control from a smartphone. When they are completely closed, rollers strengthen the safety of accommodation and improve acoustic and thermal insulation.

Sliding shutters

Sliding shutters work thanks to an integrated track in the facade that allows the sliding panels along the walls. This lateral opening system makes this type of shutter particularly practical and space. When closed, the sliding shutters are practically invisible, which preserves the aesthetic of the facade. On the other hand, once opened, they bring a modern touch and design to architecture.

The real disadvantage of sliding shutters concerns the price. They can cost up to € 700 and € 1,200. Several factors influence the cost of this type of shutter, including the materials used and the size of the opening. In practice, the price of work varies according to the complexity of the installation, for example the addition of the motoralization system. The cost of repairing the automated component increases even in the event of a failure.

The shutdown shutters

Great classics in old houses, shocking shutters, in particular wooden ones, retain the charm of traditional homes. However, it is not uncommon for some owners to choose this type of shutters for their new buildings due to its robustness. Depending on the material, it is actually actually resistant to bad weather.

But the great resource of the oscillating shutters lies in the ease of use and repair since it does not use any complex mechanism. It is this simplified aspect that explains the fairly convenient price of the shutters oscillating compared to the roller or sliding shutters. The price varies above all depending on the production material. Count between € 100 and € 300 for a torque of oscillating PVC shutters, between € 100 and € 500 for wooden models and between € 200 and € 800 for aluminum models.

If it offers good value for money, the main disadvantage of this type of shutter still lies in the fact that they offer less protection against breaks due to the simplified closing system that can be easily hooked.

Folding shutters

For accommodation with near or narrow facade, the folding shutters are the entirely indicated choice. Once bent on the side, they occupy little space. In addition, they offer great flexibility thanks to their modular opening (total, partial or by section), thus easily regulating the entrance to air and sun rays.

However, although they constitute a practical solution, the folding shutters are, like oscillations, are less safe and easier to force due to the opening in the center of the box.

On the prices side, the folding shutters cost on average between 200 and 500 €, a little more for aluminum or steel models.
