Why choose aluminum shutters for your home
Choosing aluminum shutters is investing in a reliable, aesthetic, and easy-to-maintain exterior closing system. This high-quality material has many advantages that make it a preferred choice for homes in Switzerland.
Unmatched durability
Aluminum is known for its mechanical resistance and ability to withstand climatic stresses. It does not deform under the sun, does not rust, and retains its original appearance for decades, even when exposed to severe weather.
Enhanced protection against intrusions
Thanks to the rigidity of aluminum, shutters provide additional security. The slats and fastening systems resist break-in attempts, thus effectively protecting your home.
Effective thermal and acoustic insulation
Aluminum shutters, especially when equipped with specific slats, help limit thermal exchanges and reduce noise disturbances. They help keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter.
Minimal maintenance
Unlike wood, aluminum requires no anti-moisture treatment or regular painting. A simple cleaning with soapy water is enough to maintain the shine and cleanliness of the surface.
The steps for installing an aluminum shutter in Switzerland
Installing an aluminum shutter requires technical expertise and impeccable precision. Avenir Renovations follows a methodical process to ensure a perfect and durable installation.
The different models of aluminum shutters available
In Switzerland, Avenir Renovations offers several types of aluminum shutters to meet all aesthetic and functional needs. Each model can be customized in terms of color, dimensions, and accessories.
The aluminum folding shutter consists of several panels that fold in on themselves. It is particularly suitable for wide openings and allows for a completely unobstructed view when opened.
Mounted on a rail, the sliding shutter glides laterally along the facade. This modern system combines ease of use with a sleek design, ideal for contemporary architecture.
The swing shutter is the most common model. Composed of panels that pivot on hinges, it adds a classic charm while providing a solid and practical closure.
This model allows for the adjustment of the slat orientation to control light and ventilation. Ideal for very sunny areas, it also offers good visual protection while allowing air to pass through.
