Aluminium Operable Shutters

Control privacy, sunlight and airflow with custom-made aluminium operable shutters for patios, verandas, balconies and outdoor living areas. Compare MOVE vertical operable shutters with Nirvana horizontal operable louvre shutters. Both systems are configured to suit your finished opening dimensions and are available for delivery or depot collection.

Custom Aluminium Operable Shutters for Outdoor Areas

Aluminium operable shutters provide adjustable privacy, ventilation and sun control without permanently closing off an outdoor area. The blades can be repositioned throughout the day to manage visibility, airflow and exposure to the elements.

Manufactured from durable, low-maintenance aluminium, these shutter systems are suited to patios, verandas, balconies, outdoor entertaining areas and other prepared openings. Each system is custom configured using your finished opening measurements.

Operable shutters help reduce exposure to sunlight, wind and rain but are not completely weatherproof. They must not be used as a balustrade, fall barrier or certified safety barrier. Seek independent engineering advice where wind-load certification or structural compliance is required.
