A wide variety of windows.

Metal hurricane shutters are a very common building component, found in residential, hotel, commercial buildings and factory buildings. They are widely used in HVAC systems and building windows and curtain walls. In the modern sheet metal processing field, through the stamping of metal sheets, metal shutters for windows not only have a good appearance but also have core performance of ventilation. Through the gap of the blades, air circulation is achieved and they are widely used in chassis, electrical cabinets and other equipment. If the ventilation performance is poor, it will cause the fan load to be too high, making the equipment unable to work normally, resulting in reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption.

Window shutters can be classified in many ways, such as according to structure, blade fixation form, shape, material, characteristics, etc. For example, according to function, they can be divided into ordinary ventilation use, rainproof ventilation use, noise reduction ventilation, sand-proof ventilation, etc. Due to different user needs, the selection of products is also different. Especially the windows themselves always need to cope with complex outdoor environments, and even special factors such as pest and bird prevention may need to be considered.

The choice between rainproof and ventilation performance.

Before introducing the rainproof performance of the window shutters interior, let's first briefly explain its ventilation performance and then explain the relationship between the two. Ventilation performance refers to the percentage of the window's ventilation area. This indicator mainly reflects the density of the blades. The ventilation coefficient indicates the size of the ventilation volume. For blinds of the same size and model, the larger the ventilation area, the higher the ventilation coefficient.

The rainproof performance is a test standard for hurricane shutters based on the AMCA standard. By installing the window on an experimental wall to simulate rainfall, the test measures the wind speed required to blow the rain into the room. Of course, the experiment has its own limitations. Because in real conditions, many factors such as the rainfall volume, wind speed, and duration of rainfall are usually greater than the test conditions. Therefore, it is mainly a reference indicator and still poses a considerable challenge for actual rainproof performance.

When choosing rainproof steel shutters, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the actual usage needs of the user and not blindly focus on the rainproof efficiency issue. Because rainproof and ventilation are a problem that needs to be balanced mutually. Obviously, ventilation means an opening, and an opening means the possibility of water seepage. Therefore, the actual needs are very important. For example, in areas where electrical switches are located, a 4-level rainproof (waterproof coefficient 100%-99%) aluminum window shutter can be selected. If it is the area where pumps or fans are located and for areas where a small amount of water seepage can be ignored, a 3-level (waterproof coefficient 98.9%-98.5%) can be chosen. In addition, the 2-level rainproof (waterproof coefficient 94.9%-80%) is the best balance between rainproof performance and ventilation performance among all shutter blinds and is also the most widely used. Therefore, the correct selection of a product suitable for the user is the key. We can provide our suggestions based on the actual usage needs of the customer.

FAQ

What are shutters?

It is a window form that combines functionality and aesthetics. It is composed of multiple parallel blades and can regulate light, ventilation, and has a certain rain-proof effect. It is a widely used decorative element.

What are the downsides of shutters?

It has to be admitted that its cleaning is rather difficult and there are often hidden areas of poor hygiene, which has been the most frequently mentioned issue for a long time.

Are aluminium shutters good?

This depends on your specific application scenario, such as in bathrooms or kitchens. It has excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, and performs better than wooden curtains. However, if it is a floor-mounted type, you need to consider light control and sound insulation. Additionally, for bedrooms, you may also need to consider insulation effects.
