Roller shutters: Aluminum vs. Plastic

We have now found an association for roller shutters. It deals only with that. Unbelievable what there is. In any case, the person there said it mainly depends on the wind load. Aluminum would be somewhat better but not always necessary. You can have poor quality with both materials. Well, now we will try to find out what wind load would be okay for us. Maybe then we will know more.

My opinion Pro plastic: price Pro aluminum: stable, colorfast, more burglar-resistant My favorite is and remains aluminum even if I have to invest a few euros more for it.... I don't really believe that they deform.. but I have no experience with that.

My parents have had plastic roller shutters for 30 years. No discoloration (ok, they are also light gray) and to this day not a single defect, despite daily use.

hm... I am curious to see what you will decide on...

I would like to join in here. Do aluminum roller shutters actually offer more burglary protection? What exactly is the deal with insulated aluminum roller shutters? I can't quite imagine it.

Thanks and regards
