When building or renovating your home, you need to make the right choices. As far as windows are concerned, installing motorised and smart shutters is the best choice in our opinion, and we will explain why... 1 - Simplified everyday life I think we all agree: if you are changing your home's devices, it is to simplify your life, not to complicate it. Nowadays using a crank is definitely outdated and the electric roller shutter is here to remind you of that. Today, with smart shutters, you can open and close your electric shutters with your smartphone or a remote control. Not only is it no longer necessary to get up and tire yourself turning the crank handle, you can do it even when you're not at home. smart shutters mean everyday life is much simpler! 2 - Enhanced security A classic shutter is rather easy to force due to its manual mechanism, allowing an intruder to lift the shutter in just a few seconds. The robustness of an electric roller shutter will present more of an obstacle to anyone who wants to open it with their bare hands. The more resistant mechanism therefore greatly reduces intrusion attempts. Smart shutters thus enhances the security of your home! 3 - Energy savings The advantage of the electric window shutter is that it can be associated with your other smart home devices, such as your weather sensors and your heating, for example. So, when correctly set up, your electric shutters open to let the sun pass through to heat your home, while your heating is turned down at the same time. A simple and effective way to control your consumption. An electric roller shutter saves you energy! Small bonus: Protection of privacy Smart shutters are not only used to protect you from heat, cold or light. They also guard your privacy. Are you enjoying an evening with the family?
