Residential Roller Shutter Doors in Cape Town

• Insulated aluminium, quiet running
• Battery backup for load shedding

Residential roller shutter doors in Cape Town mostly go on glass. The housing here, from the Atlantic seaboard through the Southern Suburbs to Blouberg and the South Peninsula, is built around views and large stacking doors, and that is exactly what is hardest to secure any other way.

Residential roller shutter doors we install in Cape Town

• Patio and stacking door shutters that close a large glass opening without blocking it during the day.
• Garage roller shutters where headroom will not take a sectional door.
• Side and service entrance shutters on the openings that actually get used to get in.
• Window shutters where a room needs closing off while the house is empty.

Shutters that keep the view

On a house in Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Muizenberg or Blouberg, a solid curtain over the main opening undoes the reason the house is where it is. Perforated and glazed curtains close the opening while leaving light and much of the view, and we price them against a solid door so the trade-off is visible rather than assumed.

Coating and hardware near the sea

A residential shutter three hundred metres from surf needs a different specification from the same shutter in Durbanville. Marine-grade finishes, stainless fixings and coated hardware are the difference between a door that still works smoothly in ten years and one that is seizing in three. We tell you which zone your property is in and quote accordingly.

Wind, and shutters as weather protection

A shutter over a patio does more than secure it. Closed against a hard south easter it takes the wind and the salt spray off the glass and the frames behind it, which on an exposed elevation extends the life of everything it covers.

Roller shutters for older Cape Town houses

The Victorian and early twentieth century housing through Woodstock, Observatory, Salt River, Wynberg and the City Bowl has narrow garages, low headroom and reveals that are rarely square. A shutter fits where a rigid panelled door will not, and in a heritage area we keep the box inside the reveal so nothing protrudes past the building line.

Shutters in apartment buildings and complexes

Ground-floor and courtyard apartments through the City Bowl, Sea Point, Green Point and Century City are often the weak point in an otherwise secure building. Those installs usually need body corporate approval, and we provide the written specification for it.

Motorised residential shutters

Motorised shutters get closed every night; heavy manual ones do not. We fit tube motors inside the barrel with a remote and a wall switch, and every install has a manual release for outages. Shutters can run on a timer or off the alarm system where the household wants it.

What a residential roller shutter door costs in Cape Town

Priced on opening size, curtain type, coating system, finish and whether it is motorised. We measure on site, because a stacking door reveal is rarely the size it looks.
