Roller Shutters: A Comprehensive Guide to Dimensions
Roller shutters are a best-selling category of doors in the market. With technological advancements, many different types and styles have been developed, including options that are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. They are also increasingly used in residential settings. Today, let’s explore the various dimensions of roller shutters.
High-Speed Roller Shutter Dimensions:
Manufacturers can produce high-speed roller shutters with specifications up to W10m * H16m. Their opening and closing speed ranges from 0.6 to 2.0 meters per second. The shutter panel thickness options include 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, and 0.45mm, with the overall panel thickness ranging from 12mm to 20mm. Please note, these are not standardized and can vary by manufacturer.
Color Steel Roller Shutter Dimensions:
Common thicknesses for color steel roller shutters include 0.325mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, and 1.0mm. Guide rail specifications include 80mm, 90mm, and 105mm, among others. Standard track dimensions are 5.5-5.8 cm and 9 cm. For aluminum alloy shutters, common specifications are 0.6-1.2mm thickness with 8 cm tracks. Regarding slat types, the 77-type indicates a single slat width of 77mm, while the 99-type indicates a width of 99mm.
Garage Roller Shutter Dimensions:
The dimensions of garage roller shutters are primarily determined by the height and width of the garage opening. They are highly customizable, with maximum heights ranging from 10 to 15 meters and maximum widths from 4 to 12 meters. Common specifications include using an 80mm diameter pipe for the roll. End bracket sizes vary depending on the door size, and the need for a cover casing is determined by usage. For small single garage doors (under 3m wide and 2.5m high), 55-type or 77-type slats are typically used, while larger double garage doors use 77-type slats.
Electric Roller Shutter Dimensions:
Electric roller shutters come in various dimensional specifications:
① 3.5 meters long by 4.3 meters wide. Based on the opening mechanism, they are categorized into manual and electric types. Manual shutters utilize a torsion spring on the central shaft for operation, while electric shutters use a dedicated motor to rotate the shaft, automatically stopping at preset limits.
② 5.2 meters long by 4.3 meters wide. Based on slat material, they can be classified as: fabric, mesh, aluminum alloy, PVC, stainless steel, or reinforced wind-resistant shutters.
③ 4.5 meters long by 4.8 meters wide. Installation methods include built-in (within the wall) and surface-mounted (outside the wall). Opening directions can be vertical (roll-up) or side-rolling.
Fire Resistant Roller Shutter Dimensions:
Common dimensions for fire-resistant roller shutters are typically around 2.5m by 3m. Standard market sizes often start from a minimum of 1.9m by 0.9m. Other common sizes include 2m by 0.9m, with 1.9m by 0.9m being the smallest standard size. Most dimensions require custom design based on actual requirements. There are no specific regulations defining the maximum or minimum sizes, including width.
Customers need not worry excessively about dimensions. Reputable and professional roller shutter manufacturers typically send specialized engineers for on-site measurements to customize shutters according to specific opening sizes.
