The Croci Roller Shutter range is specifically designed for covering windows, corner windows, bay windows, sliding doors, front doors including alcove type entrances, skylights and become a space saving necessity for those European type laundry set ups.
The Croci roller shutter range can span to any size up to 3.6 metres in width as a single roller shutter. Unlimited spans can be achieved by support mullions.
These shutters are a system of interlocking aluminium slats, injected with polyurethane and coated in fade and abrasive resistant enamel. Their non-corrosive characteristics means that maintenance is virtually nil.
In the opinion of CSIRO Appraisals, the AR6 and AR17 extruded Rollita™ Roller Shutters are suitable for the protection of windows from radiant heat of bushfires as both roller shutters specimens achieved a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of A40.
Curtain:
Is constructed of a 40mm x 9mm flat blade (AR6) or a 44mm x 9mm (AR17) curved blade with an upper double folded lip (for extra strength) which forms a continuous hinge. Each slat (shutter curtain) is fitted with specially moulded end clips, which prevent lateral movement offering a smooth and quiet operation.
Ventilation & Light Control:
All Croci Security Window Roller Shutters are pierced during the production stage with oval slots designed to allow airflow and natural light into your home so you can easily create an ambient and softly lit atmosphere.
Side Guides:
Choices of 53mm x 21mm, 62mm x 25mm or 70mm x 22mm extruded aluminium section for Compact German Box installations.
The tracks have a hollow section for concealing fixings.
The tracks are fitted with a nylofelt buffer for a quiet and smooth operation.
The tracks allow a shutter penetration of up to 40mm deep for improved security.
Axle:
Constructed of a 40mm, 60mm or 70mm galvanised axle or a 60mm aluminium axle.
Bottom Rail:
Is constructed from a 55mm x 7.5mm extruded aluminium section.
Locking:
Specially designed security springs connect the top slat to the axle. When the security roller shutter has been activated fully in its down position, these clever springs will throw the top of the roller shutter into the back of the pelmet box if someone were to try and lift the shutter from the outside.
A Bottom Rail Key Lock System can be added if requested for additional security. Housed inside the extruded bottom rail are 25mm x 3mm steel flat bars which run across the entire width of the shutter, anchoring deep into the side guides when activated. The locking mechanism is controlled by a two-way double turn mortice lock that is positioned at the base of the Security Window Roller Shutter.
Motorisation:
Can be used on almost any size security window roller shutter opening and recommended on larger openings. Space saving direct drive tubular motors (slide into the axle) can be controlled by a toggle switch, key switch or remote control.
Multiple Roller Shutters can be operated by a single remote control or with a centrally mounted gang switch.
Battery Back Up:
UPS systems are strongly recommended particularly where there is a security roller shutter covering a doorway. These clever battery packs convert 24 volt to 240 volt power in case of power failure and do not enter into sleep mode when power fails, allowing you and your family complete peace of mind.
