What are the different types of external shutter box?
Placed outside your home, your shutter box is designed to protect this room that is so important to your comfort. Depending on the type of shutter, the nature of your home and your aesthetic requirements, an external shutter box may differ. In Ixelles, Jette, Ganshoren and throughout the Brussels region, a company like CRH offers its customers different types of shutter box: aluminium, PVC and many others. But what are the different types of external shutter box? Here’s an overview:
Internal boxes
What could be more logical than wanting to keep your façade free of shutter boxes? An uncluttered surface is a priority for many homeowners. On both new-build and renovation projects, the boxes are often placed on the inside for monobloc shutters. The shutter box is made of PVC, and the shutter slats are made of either PVC or aluminium.
Elegant external boxes
While the external shutter box market has succeeded in developing discrete, even elegant pieces, the main advantage of this type of installation is the simplicity of installation, which does not require any major work. It is mounted on the façade, not on the inside.
The integrated box
This is a roller box that is completely integrated into the structure of the home. As a result, it is invisible from both inside and outside. This type of box requires major work and is generally recommended for new-build projects.
A wide range of chambers
In addition to these first three trends, the experts in the sector advise their customers according to the situation. Individuals may be advised to choose a tunnel box, a half-lintel box, a bay roller shutter, a roller shutter with adjustable slats, a roller shutter for a roof window, or a box for a solar-powered roller shutter. It all depends on the type of structure involved, the type of shutter, and whether the project is new or renovation.
