At Central Awnings, we supply and install bespoke external roller shutters for both residential and commercial applications across the UK.

Solar shading, insulation and security in one system

External roller shutters provide a highly effective way to control heat, light, noise and security at the building envelope.

By installing shutters on the outside of windows and doors, solar heat is stopped before it enters the building — helping to reduce overheating in summer, improve insulation in winter and enhance overall comfort throughout the year.

Built for strength, durability and longevity

All Central Awnings roller shutters are manufactured using high-quality aluminium profiles, chosen for their strength, precision and resistance to corrosion. Aluminium offers:

  • Long-term durability
  • Excellent weather resistance
  • Improved colour stability
  • Precise manufacturing for bespoke sizing

Installation options to suit your building

External roller shutters can be installed in several ways, depending on the building structure and requirements. Options include:

  • Face-fixed installation
  • Reveal-fixed installation
  • Recess-mounted systems

These methods allow shutters to be integrated without compromising the building’s insulation layer, helping to avoid unwanted thermal loss.

Operation, control and automation

External roller shutters are available with a range of operating options to suit different applications. These include:

  • Manual operation
  • Electric motorisation
  • Remote controls
  • Key switches
  • Timers and smart control systems
  • Solar-powered operation

Automation allows shutters to respond to daily routines, light levels or security needs, improving convenience and peace of mind.

Key advantages include:

  • Homes and apartments
  • Shops and retail premises

  • Schools and public buildings
  • Industrial and storage facilities

Profile options and custom finishes

A choice of aluminium shutter profiles is available, allowing the system to be matched to the required level of insulation, security and visual appearance.

Profiles are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, helping shutters integrate discreetly with modern or traditional façades.

Central Awnings can advise on the most suitable profile and finish for each project.
