What a security shutters costs in Canberra
Canberra's freezing winters make insulation the standout case for roller shutters: closed over the glass, an aluminium shutter holds warmth in overnight on the many poorly-insulated older homes, and in the hot dry summers it blocks the strong sun the other way. On the ageing ex-government housing stock in particular, the thermal gain is a genuine reason to fit them beyond security.
Canberra is one of the more hail-exposed capitals, so a shutter's protection of the glass from a hailstorm is a real bonus on top of the security and insulation. The high local labour base pushes the install above the national figure, and with no coast there is no salt to worry the finish, so the spend goes into the shutter quality and the thermal performance rather than corrosion resistance.
