Perhaps the biggest benefit of roller shutters is that they provide your home with excellent security. This is because they are very closely fitted to the door or window and cannot be pulled away without a great deal of effort (if they can be at all). As well as being an excellent physical deterrent, they are also a brilliant visual deterrent as would be intruders see the shutters and decide that it is not worth the effort of trying to gain entry to your home, going elsewhere instead.

Roller shutters also give you a huge amount of control over the amount of light that enters the home at any given time. You can choose to completely darken a room by lowering the shutters all the way, or you can have them wide open so that sunlight floods the room. It’s completely up to you. Of course, you can also partially open or close the shutters to suit. As well as control over light, roller shutters give you control over ventilation. That is, you can open the shutters to allow fresh air to stream through the windows or door, or choose to only allow a little bit of fresh air through. Again, it’s totally up to you. Finally, roller shutters also give you control over privacy. If your neighbours are home or you don’t want passersby to see in, simply lower the shutters as you want.

Another big benefit of roller shutters is that they protect your doors and windows against the weather. If a storm or gale rolls in, just close the shutters and you can feel secure in knowing that they’ll deflect branches and other debris that can break glass and otherwise cause damage. Roller shutters also protect against embers in the event of bushfire, deflecting them away before they have the chance to cause damage.

Hoover said his customers have reportedly saved 8 percent to 20 percent of their heating/cooling bills while using these insulated shutters. Of course, the percentages vary on how often you close them. As much as I love the feeling of security they give, I love sunlight more and keep them open during the day. So I'm guessing my energy savings will be lower.
The cost is what took me two years to decide, but the moment they got installed, I truly thought to myself, "why did I wait this long?" The feeling of calm and the peace of mind they afford me is well worth the expense.
Finally, room darkening is a benefit. Although I have draperies and layers of window coverings on my bedroom windows, they still let in a little light. These shutters completely block out the light.
