Horizontal Roller Shutter For Outdoor Glass Roof Sun Shading

Horizontal Roller Shutter For Outdoor Glass Roof Sun Shading

Outdoor aluminum alloy sunshade canopy is a new type of external shading product for daylighting. Its main component blades are formed by aluminum alloy roller pressing technology, with a cavity structure that can effectively slow down heat propagation. It is also possible to inject a certain density of polyurethane composite foam material into the blade cavity, effectively blocking heat propagation. Its excellent shading performance is the preferred choice for shading in daylighting roofs.

Motorized Aluminium rolling shutters for skylights are a practical solution for controlling light, ventilation, and thermal insulation. Here are the key technical details and specifications commonly associated with skylight aluminium rolling shutters:

• A number of our products can be re-engineered in such a way that they can be installed horizontally. Use a horizontal shutter across glass roofs to block out light, swimming pools to cover them up, or escalators to section them off.
• As one of the few suppliers who offer this solution, we’ve conducted horizontal roller shutter installations in Tamil Nadu, India, near.
• If you see a product you like, ask our sales team whether we can adapt it to a horizontal type roller shutter.
• Our horizontal roller shutters, Glass Roof Sun Shades, have been installed industrially in India as a fire barrier on the tube system, commercially in London to protect lift shafts, and residentially across the UK to cover up people’s swimming pools or glass ceilings to block out the light.
• Due to the lateral strength needed, our horizontal roller shutters are nearly always manufactured from steel and feature a counter pulley and spring system to pull the shutter back against gravity. Because of this, the space needed to install a horizontal shutter is often greater than regular doors.

Design Considerations

1. Slope compatibility: Can be installed on inclined/sloped skylights (15°–90°)
2. Size range: Can be custom-made for small to large skylights
3. Mounting type: Surface mounted or concealed within skylight well
4. Maintenance: Minimal; occasional cleaning and motor checkups

General Construction

1. Material: High-grade extruded aluminium (typically alloy 6063 T5)
2. Finish: Powder-coated or anodized for weather resistance
3. Operation: Manual, motorized (electric motor or remote-controlled), or automatic (sensors/smart systems)
4. Weather & Safety Features
5. Wind resistance rating (up to Class 3 or higher depending on design)
6. Rain and dust protection
7. Fire-rated options available
8. Integrated wind/rain sensor option for auto-close

What are horizontal shutters?

Horizontal shutters move sideways to cover large areas such as glass roofs, pools, or escalators. They offer protection while maintaining aesthetic harmony within a space.

Can roller shutters be installed horizontally?

Yes, with specialised engineering, many roller shutters can be configured to operate horizontally, providing security and coverage for unique spaces.

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal shutters?

Vertical shutters descend from above, typically used for windows and doors, while horizontal shutters move sideways, making them ideal for covering areas like glass roofs, swimming pools, or escalators where vertical shutters may not be practical.

What are the disadvantages of horizontal shutters?

Disadvantages include higher installation costs due to their complex design and the need for regular maintenance to ensure proper functionality over time.

What is the average cost of horizontal shutters?

Costs typically range from $2,000 to $12,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity. Bespoke installations may cost more.

How often should horizontal shutters be serviced?

Annual professional servicing is recommended to maintain optimal performance and address any wear and tear before it leads to operational issues.

How long do horizontal shutters last?

With proper maintenance, they can last for several decades, demonstrating their durability and long-term functionality.
