About Roller Shutters

Roller Shutters

Installing Roller Shutters for a higher level of safety & increased energy efficiency!

Made-to-measure roller shutters are a modern exterior solution that provides a triple benefit – energy and cost savings, sound isolation, and an enhanced safety function. It is essential to not only choose a colour that matches the house's facade but also to pick a suitable shutter system and installation method. Our shutters are made of steel and aluminium and will not need maintenance for a long time. Plus – if necessary, they can be easily cleaned.

Lex Blinds offers a wide assortment of innovative custom roller shutters (UK). These are considered modern and stylish alternatives to traditional iron bars. If installed correctly, external shutters for windows and doors work as safety measures and may reduce thermal losses significantly during the cold season. Not to mention, they work perfectly as a sound insulation solution. Read on and learn more about our vast assortment and perks that quality electric outdoor shutters for windows and doors provide for homes, offices and restaurants – basically, any modern building of any purpose.

Custom Exterior Shutters for Windows & Doors – Installing Roller Shutters for Enhanced Security


While many of our popular outdoor blinds offer efficient light, heat and privacy control, metal made-to-measure roller shutter doors or windows on top of that add an extra layer of security. Made-to-measure, high-quality Lex Blinds' security shutters for windows and doors perform versatile protective functions: they help to protect the windows of homes, shops, and offices against hooligans and burglars, protect the residents on the ground floor from curious looks, etc.

Thus, we are confident that these window treatments, out of all exterior-mounted options, provide one of the highest, if not the highest, levels of enhanced safety.

Other Benefits of External Roller Shutters (UK)


Beyond question, innovative exterior roller shutters will complement any building stylistics – choose any construction colour from the RAL palette. However, it is essential to select not only a colour that matches the house's facade but also a suitable system and installation method. That's the more complex part, but do not worry – our experienced specialists will help you find the best solution individually.

Besides the enhanced safety function, modern exterior shields provide other benefits when creating resource-efficient and comfortable homes. For instance:

    a) Sound isolation
    b) Temperature regulation

Our products are made of steel and aluminium and will not need maintenance for a long time. Plus, they can be easily cleaned if necessary.

These high-quality window treatments, if correctly installed, guarantee reliable thermal isolation, providing the possibility to save on heating in winter or air conditioning on hot summer days. If you are tired of noise outside—hearing car motors, barking dogs, or discussions of passers-by—Lex Blinds outdoor shields may solve this problem.

Essential Aspects When Choosing Custom Roller Shutters


Exterior security shields can be divided into two main categories – external window shutters and shields for doors. Obviously, products' sizes and even frequency of use differ, but qualities and selection criteria are similar. Still, there are more details to look into – roller shutter blinds also vary depending on the following:

  • Materials
  • Systems
  • Operation mechanisms
  • Integrated extra functions


Further, we'll discuss the subtleties of solutions for windows and doors. One of the most relevant questions is knowing which control mechanism to choose.

Security Roller Shutters for Windows


Each Lex Blinds motorised rolling shutter is durable and sturdy but flexible in terms of size and design choices. These so-called home security shutters fit various window forms and types. Our custom-made aluminium window roller shutters are perfect for homes, offices, or shop showcases. Multiple projects we've worked on prove you can enjoy the perks of safety shades in different buildings.

Choose a design and colours that would complement the exterior design and architecture of the building. You want to maintain the same harmonious style. Therefore, considering roller shutter blinds, you should consider covering windows with the same products, at least on that floor. When it comes to safety shades, usually, it's the first-floor windows.

Aluminium Roller Shutter Doors


Whether you consider a secure terrace or garage entrance, a quality manual or electric rolling door adds an extra physical security layer. A solid shutter door works as an effective deterrent against thieves. If your primary concern is security, pay attention to materials. The aluminium motorised roller door looks good and is sturdy.

Moreover, it's wise to think of the same type and style of window and door treatments for the whole building or the relevant floor. As products for doors are bigger and are usually used more often, electric solutions turn out to be more efficient.

Manual or Electric Roller Shutters?


As we've briefly mentioned, outdoor roller shields could be of different systems and control mechanisms. As technologies upgrade, manually controlled systems are now considered classics. And it still works for some home or commercial building owners. The comfort of using manually operated mechanisms mostly depends on the following:

    a) Architectural solutions
    b) Frequency of use

Here at Lex Blinds, you can choose a preferred mode of operation: cord, knob or motor. Automated electric shades are by no means one of the latest and most innovative solutions. You can even control them remotely – e.g., via application or voice command using one of the most popular smart home systems. This way, you can create a desired level of privacy and remotely control the temperature at home.

One more thing – if you aren't experienced in more complex systems installation, it's better to leave this work to experts. You don't want to leave any security or efficient resource management gaps. Our team is ready to provide installation and other services.

Front-mounted or Top-mounted Roller Shutters?


Choosing the right mounting option for your external shutters (UK) can significantly impact your home's functionality and aesthetic appeal. Here are the two main ways to mount external roller shutters:

  • Front-mounted metal security shutters: These shields are installed on the exterior surface of the window or door frame, making them ideal for existing buildings. They are easy to install without the need for significant structural changes.
  • Top-mounted aluminium security shutters: These roller shields are installed at the top of the window or door opening (integrated into the building structure). They are often chosen during the construction or renovation phase. Top-mounted shades offer a seamless appearance, blending in with the building's architecture.


Both options offer unique advantages, so consider your home's style and specific needs when choosing between front-mounted and top-mounted roller shields.

Security Shutters for Private Homes, Multi-Storied & Commercial Buildings


Regarding safety issues or simply an efficient deterrent against thieves, these outdoor mounted shields are by no means an essential part of the building security system. No matter the purpose or type of the building, they're widely used in domestic, commercial or industrial buildings:

  • Domestic Roller Shutters: When considering this type of window and door treatment, many think of houses. Yet our products are suitable for multi-story buildings, too. If you're looking to enhance the safety of your first-floor apartment, consider this option, too.
  • Commercial Roller Shutters: Regarding commercial and even industrial buildings, it's all about that solid shutter door. Our team is skilled and experienced enough to handle large and complex projects.


Whether you're looking to secure a house, an apartment in a multi-story building, or a commercial project, we're happy to help you find efficient and resource-saving solutions for security shutters for doors and windows.
