Roller shutter technology has been implemented in a number of different settings, such as when they’re used as garage doors, to provide security for closed retail stores, to cover windows, or to restrict vehicle access to parking areas in industries. The different ways in which roller shutter technology can be implemented is delineated by the size firstly, and the amount of security each option can provide secondly. The different types of roller shutters can also come with a number of secondary enhancements as well, such as the ability to provide increased insulation, draft exclusion, or automation. Different manufacturers of roller shutter technology focus on different implementations of the technology, so the specific company can give you some valuable information regarding the effectiveness of the products they supply. This article will focus on providing the information about the manufacturers that is most important to you, such as the type of product they sell, what the value for money is, and how the quality compares to their competitors.

Firstly we have Hormann doors, which is one of the leading manufacturers of garage doors in the UK market place. Hormann doors have been in the business for around thirty years, and over that period they have come to be known as a well respected manufacturer of roller shutter doors through their Rollmatic product line. This consists of numerous different implementations of roller shutter doors, where the materials used are predominately galvanised steel, making it a fairly high end product. They focus on making sure that the product has maximum quality, and implement their patented electrical operator in order to make the door open automatically. The doors can be produced through their bespoke service which ensures that the end customer gets a door that has been produced to the precise dimensions required by their garage’s aperture, as well as with a number of different options for the finish used on the door, so that the door can meet the customer’s style requirements.

SWS is one of the leading manufacturers of roller doors for implementation in a garage or industrial setting, as well as security grilles for retail and domestic windows in order to provide protection when the building is unoccupied. Their roller doors have gained a reputation for being a high quality door that is produced at a reasonable price range, and is therefore one of the most commonly implemented in the market place. The doors are produced under their Seceuroglide product line, and are predominately made from double skinned aluminium. Their focus is on producing products that offer a high level of security, and their SWS roller shutter doors reflect this reality, often considered one of the leaders in the marketplace due to their exceptional locking mechanisms, and the efforts they go to in order to secure the remote controls that they implement for the door’s automation.

Garador are another mainstay in the roller shutter marketplace. More generally, the business is known for producing a range of different garage door products which includes the roller shutter garage door. They offer a flexible range of material selection, with doors produced using aluminium, galvanised steel and timber. Their roller doors are produced in the Gararoll product line, and they focus primarily on producing roller shutters made from aluminium, with a remote control operational mechanism included in their doors as a standard. While roller doors are poor options for producing a garage door made entirely from timber, to get around this flaw, Garador offer timber-like effects through the use of special laminates. This allows you to select a garage door that correctly conforms to the general style of your home’s exterior.

Lastly there is Samson doors, which has operated in the market place for roller shutter doors for around twenty years. A manufacturer of roller shutter doors, Samson doors has become recognised for their quality and innovative products, using lower cost materials that translates into cheaper cost for their customers. Made in their Suparolla product line, their roller doors are produced with keeping the cost low while also providing quality insulation. To do this, their doors are made from low cost aluminium that includes foam insulation, and can be purchased with or without the electric motor required for automation. When the electric motor is included, the company offers one of the longest warrantees on the market at five years just for the motor. When automation is included into their products, it comes with a CE approved bottom edge protector that allows you to operate the door safely and securely.
