About Our Domestic Roller Shutters

Strength and security allow large ventilation holes

WHY IS FORCESHIELD SO STRONG AND SECURE?

To provide you with the best possible security for your home and family, Forceshield has the strongest extruded profile & tracks available in Australia. In fact Forceshield shutters comply with Australian Standards to resist Category 3 cyclones.

LARGE VENTILATION HOLES!

The strength of the Forceshield profile allows much stronger ventilation holes while still providing maximum security and strength. In the ventilated position Forceshield shutters provide a massive 7 times more light and air than conventional shutters.

MANY OTHER BENEFITS TOO!

  • Summer Forceshield Shutters stop up to 90% heat in summer. You control how much heat and glare comes through your windows
  • Winter Forceshield Shutters keep the cold out and the warmth in by stopping up to 70% heat loss through the glass in winter.
  • Save Money Forceshield Shutters reduce the cost of heating and cooling your home.
  • Noise With a STC rating of 39, noise is reduced by up to 50%. Forceshield Shutters allow you to control the noise from the traffic, aircraft, noisy neighbours, barking dogs, lawnmowers, etc.
  • Peace of Mind Forceshield Shutters form a shield to protect you against undesirable elements, yet they are easy to open for a safe exit.
  • Bushfires Intense heat causes windows to explode & the curtains to burst into flames. With Forceshield Shutters this cannot happen because the heat gain through the glass is reduced by 90%.
  • Versatile Use forceshield Shutters on all openings such as windows, doors, verandahs, counter tops, in both residential and commercial situations.
  • Attractive Finish Forceshield Shutters come in a high gloss, super smooth, maintenance free, DULUX powdercoated finish in a full range of colours.

APPLICATION

The extruded aluminium 31mm profile is ideally suited to both commercial and domestic applications such as schools, hospitals, office blocks, residential houses. It provides the highest security protection against break ins. Forceshield gives seven time more light and ventilation than the standard European style 40m profile as well as being many times stronger.

MANUFACTURE

Manufactured in Australia from 6060T5 marine grade aluminium, the slat is punched through the top opening hook in a mesh pattern giving the large light and ventilation holes. Painted in DULUX architectural grade powdercoat giving maximum protection.

CSIRO-TEST FOR AIRBORNE SOUND TRANSMISSION LOSS
CSIRO test results for airborne sound transmission loss

Specimen of a roller window shutter assembly consisting of Forceshield interlocking hollow extruded T6063 marine grade aluminium segments housed in a perimeter frame incorporating a sheet metal pelmet box, T6060 marine grade aluminium vertical guide tracks with strip seals and a belt operated external winch for rasing and lowering the shutter. The bottom segment of the shutter carried an extruded rubber strip on the bottom edge to effect a seal with the base of the perimeter frame when the shutter was closed. The window shutter was fitted to the external face of a wall housing an aluminium sliding window which was nominally 1.24m high x 1.42m wide. Thickness of glass used for the face of the glass in the window assembly was approximately 44mm and 64mm for the fixed glass and the sliding glass panels respectively.
The mass of the specimen shutter assembly was determined as 30kg.
