BC45 Head box
The BC45 series head box material is a two-part aluminium roll formed section designed to completely enclose the working parts of the shutter. The shutter curtain (slat) is concealed in the head box when in the UP position and for this reason we have four sizes of head box. The box has two roll formed sections (Top Plate and Bottom Plate), that are fitted together with a pair of cast aluminium end plates.

The AR400 shutter
Aluminium roller shutters were developed in Germany over fifty years ago, and derived from a timber slat woven together with string. The first aluminium slat was a single skin roll formed section that was fitted together using a hinge like shape. There have been many developments and many shapes produced from that early design. The slat we use is a double walled cavity, curved profile with a PU foam injected into it during the forming process. Although derived from the early timber slat, the AR4OO series slat represents many technological advantages, and forms the basis for our modern rollershutter.
Technical information
AR400 slat profile
The AR4OO series slat is coated before forming, which ensures all metal surfaces are protected from corrosion. The shape of the profile has been designed specifically to suit the domestic roller shutter market along with many commercial applications. The slat is roll formed in our manufacturer's Adelaide manufacturing facility to the highest of world standards. The German built roll forming machine is the most advanced of its type in Australia today.
Technical information
Extruded guide and bottom bar
The guide is the section that the slat profile actually runs up and down in, and supports the shutter head box. The bottom bar is the section along the bottom of the shutter curtain (slats) which has the primary function of straightening the curtain. The guide and bottom bar sections of the roller shutter are extruded aluminium and coated with a unique finish to the shutter industry. This coating has been computer matched to the colour of the head box, and will be slightly different to the slat profile due to paint types.
