Blinds come in two different kinds, which will suit different needs. Do you want the blind to fit inside the window (Recess) or outside (Facefix)? Outside (Facefix) blinds are easier to install, ideal if you want to hide features around the window and do not require exact measuring. Inside (Recess) blinds provide a neat appearance, but require exact measuring and a top recess large enough to accommodate the size of the head rail.

How do I choose the right colour for my aluminium lockable shutters?
Choosing the right colour for your aluminium lockable shutters depends on your personal style and the existing decor of your home. Blinds Direct offers a variety of contemporary finishes, including White, Light Grey, Stone Grey, Anthracite, and Black, allowing you to select a colour that complements your interior and exterior spaces.
Consider the overall colour scheme of your home and the effect you want to achieve. Lighter colours can create a sense of space and brightness, while darker shades may add a touch of elegance and sophistication. It’s also important to consider how the shutters will look from both inside and outside your home.
What is the process for measuring my windows for aluminium lockable shutters?
Accurate measurements are crucial for ensuring your aluminium lockable shutters fit perfectly. Begin by measuring the width and drop of your window in millimetres, ensuring there are no obstructions in the wall recess. It’s recommended to measure at multiple points to account for any variations.
Ensure you have 90 mm clearance in the wall recess for the head rail and bottom track. Use a metric metal tape measure for precision and double-check your measurements. Blinds Direct will make necessary adjustments during manufacturing to ensure a perfect fit, so there’s no need to make deductions from your measurements.
Can aluminium lockable shutters be customised to fit any window size?
Yes, aluminium lockable shutters from Blinds Direct are made-to-measure, meaning they can be customised to fit a wide range of window sizes. Whether you need shutters for small or large windows, these products are tailored to your specific dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit every time.
You can choose from 1 to 12 panels to suit your window or door size, and customise the layout and design features, such as the tiltrod or controllerless options. This flexibility ensures that your shutters not only fit well but also meet your aesthetic and functional preferences.
How long does it take to manufacture and install aluminium lockable shutters?
The manufacturing process for aluminium lockable shutters typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. Once your order is placed, the shutters are custom-made to your specifications. This timeframe ensures high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, resulting in a product that fits perfectly and functions smoothly.
Professional installation is included with your purchase, ensuring that the shutters are fitted correctly and securely. This service is available in selected regions, including Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. The installation team will coordinate with you to arrange a convenient time for the installation at your specified address.
Are aluminium lockable shutters suitable for all weather conditions?
Aluminium lockable shutters are designed to be weather-resistant, making them suitable for various environmental conditions. Their robust construction and durable materials ensure they can withstand harsh weather, providing reliable protection for your home throughout the year.
These shutters are particularly beneficial for outdoor use, as they offer protection against rain, wind, and sun exposure. The powder-coated finishes add an extra layer of durability, preventing rust and corrosion. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance security and aesthetics without worrying about weather-related wear and tear.
What are the installation options for aluminium lockable shutters?
Aluminium lockable shutters can be installed using either a recess (inside) or facefix (outside) fitting method. Recess installation provides a clean, streamlined look by fitting the shutters inside the window frame, requiring precise measurements for a snug fit.
Facefix installation, on the other hand, involves mounting the shutters on the outside of the window frame. This method is easier and can help hide features around the window. Professional installation is included with your purchase, ensuring the shutters are installed correctly, regardless of the method chosen, for optimal functionality and appearance.
How do I maintain and clean my aluminium lockable shutters?
Maintaining aluminium lockable shutters is straightforward and requires minimal effort. To clean them, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soapy water to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish.
Regular dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment can help keep your shutters looking their best. It’s also important to check the locking mechanism periodically to ensure it operates smoothly. Proper maintenance will extend the life of your shutters, keeping them functional and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.
What are the security features of aluminium lockable shutters?
Aluminium lockable shutters are equipped with a built-in locking mechanism that enhances security for your home. This feature provides a strong deterrent against intruders, making it difficult for them to gain entry through windows or doors fitted with these shutters.
In addition to the locking mechanism, the robust construction of aluminium shutters offers an extra layer of protection. They are designed to withstand force and resist tampering, providing peace of mind for homeowners. These security features, combined with their stylish design, make them an ideal choice for those looking to enhance home security without sacrificing aesthetics.
