Roller shutters are good for residential, commercial as well as industrial applications. They can be used as garage doors at home and as security shutters for storing valuable raw materials, inventories, and finished goods in warehouses and other industrial facilities. They are also good for shop fronts or any other opening that must be securely and reliably closed. Security shutters are typically fabricated from individually roll formed replaceable interlocking slats for additional strength. Roll forming is the technique of continuous bending wherein long strips of metals are put through consecutive sets of rolls or stands, each of them bending a section of metal until the desired cross section shape is fabricated. It handles high strength materials easily due to slow forming speed made possible with specially devised roll form tooling.

Thermal insulation, resistance to corrosion or rust, high strength but light weight and a smooth finish are the features of quality roller shutters. The roller shutters are exposed to adverse weather and environmental conditions because of which metals with conventional finishes are ...
... not the practical choice for the shutter doors. The high strength metal must be double coated and should also have a final PVC lacquer to ensure a good abrasion resistant finish. It provides better protection against corrosion along with high colour stability against degradation caused by ultra violet rays of sun.

Security roller shutters must also have an effective locking device to offer strong physical barrier against forced intrusion. With good quality roller shutters and security shutters, you not only make a building more secure but can also provide good insulation, reducing your energy cost for heating and/or cooling by up to 40 per cent.
