External Skylight Roller Shutter

Image
We have now trialed our new Skylight roller shutter system in Hobart, unlike traditional roller shutters this system pulls the roller shutter down in roller bearing rails. A skylight roller shutter is a type of shading system designed for skylights or roof windows. These shutters are installed on the exterior or interior of a skylight and can be rolled up or down to control the amount of light entering the room. They offer benefits such as: Light Control: They can help regulate the amount of natural light entering the space, which is useful for reducing glare and protecting furniture from UV damage. Energy Efficiency: By blocking out sunlight, they can help in maintaining the internal temperature, reducing the need for air conditioning or heating.

Weather Protection: Some roller shutters can offer protection against the elements, including rain and wind, which can help in extending th
