What a security shutters costs in Melbourne
In Melbourne the case for roller shutters is security plus genuine insulation: the shutter holds warmth in through the long cold winters and blocks the summer heat, which matters on the city's many brick and brick-veneer homes. The deep, competitive local market keeps a standard install keenly priced against the other capitals.
The city's period streetscapes are the constraint. In the many conservation and heritage-overlay areas across the inner and middle suburbs, external roller shutters on the front of a Victorian or Edwardian home are often restricted or refused, so owners fit them to the rear and sides where they are allowed. Fixing into double brick or brick veneer is a solid mount, and the reactive-clay movement under the home has little bearing on a wall-fixed shutter.
