An electric roller shutter comes in several materials: PVC, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, high-speed fabric, folding curtain, and inorganic fire rated cloth. Each electric roller shutter material changes how the door performs and what it costs to maintain. Start with where the shutter will sit and what it must do, then pick the material that fits.
PVC crystal roller shutter
Use a PVC electric roller shutter for an internal passage in a typical factory. PVC costs little, comes in a range of colors, and is easy to replace. If a panel gets hit or torn, swap the curtain and the problem is gone.
Electric roller shutter for outdoor security
Need theft protection at an outdoor opening? Choose a hard electric roller shutter or a high-speed model. The panels are solid and hard to break. They open and close fast and double as a security door.
Folding roller shutter
Have a very large opening that you open and close rarely? A folding roller shutter is worth a look. Keep the material light but sturdy and durable. The material must handle more than the curtain’s actual lifting force, because a shutter motor’s lift capacity drops slowly as it ages.
Lubrication and motor life
Check how well the shutter is lubricated. A good unit sheds heat fast. It runs on an all-gear drive with no chain and no belt, which protects the motor core and extends its life.
Choosing an electric roller shutter still comes down to one rule: match the roller shutter material and type to where you will use it. RHIDOOR laid out this checklist to help you decide. If anything above is unclear, reach out. We will explain in detail and build a shutter to your exact site.
