Roller shutters protect your premises, but they’re not indestructible. It’s important to maintain them to protect them from threats against your premises, both from vandals and mother nature. Read on for the situations we recommend looking out for most.
Not keeping your roller shutter clean and maintained is going to lead to bigger problems down the line. Allowing it to get excessively wet will lead to rust, and not keeping the mechanisms working smoothly will have an adverse effect in the long run. Have your roller shutters checked regularly to make sure they don’t seize up or break over time.
Being too rough with your shutters and allowing it to slam on the ground can damage it in the long-term. Overusing anything can lead to damage, so just be careful that you’re not being overly forceful, as this can jam the mechanism or break the shutter.
Over time, strong winds can weaken roller shutters and cause them to become misaligned, but that’s just one problem that they can face. Flooding and snow can also damage roller shutters, so remember to keep them regularly maintained by a professional to make sure that they are still in top condition.
The heaviest damage that roller shutters often face, are vandalism from break-ins. Though you’d rather your roller shutter was damaged than your premises, a security camera can put off potential vandals, as they will think twice if they feel they could get caught.
