Roller Shutter and Outdoor Blind Manufacturing in Adelaide
Roller shutters and outdoor blinds are the two products we manufacture here. Because we make both ourselves, we can build your roller shutters or outdoor blinds to any size your space needs, rather than fitting you to a standard.
From our factory floor to your home.
THE MACHINE
Inside the roll-forming line
Our roller shutter slats start as a coil of aluminium at one end of this line and leave it as a finished profile. It runs on our own floor in Adelaide.
The roll-forming line on the factory floor.
STEP 1
Coil goes in
Aluminium coil is loaded onto the uncoiler inside its safety cage at the head of the line.
STEP 2
Rollers form the slat
The strip passes through the forming stations and takes on the slat profile.
STEP 3
Out along the table
Formed slats run out along the table beneath the gantry at the end of the line.
STEP 4
Stacked and ready
Finished slats are bundled at the end of the line, ready to be built into a shutter.
The process
After the line
Cut to size
Every slat is cut to your window’s measurements — not trimmed down from a standard size.
Assembly
Slats, box, guides and motor are put together and squared up by hand on the floor.
Checked and packed
Each unit is run, checked and packed before it goes out to the install team.
OUTDOOR BLINDS
How we build our outdoor blinds
Aluminium profiles come off the rack and go to the drop saw, where they are cut for the opening the blind has to fit. Fabric is rolled out and squared up on the long tables, then run through the fabric machine. Tubes are prepared alongside it. Headboxes and bottom rails are fitted by hand at the bench.
The Team on the Floor
Our factory is one floor split in two: roller shutters are built on one side, outdoor blinds on the other, each with its own team. On each side, every stage of the build has a dedicated person, so each step is done by someone who does that job every day.
What Making Them Here Actually Gets You
Made to your measurements
Your opening is measured first and the product is built to those numbers, so nothing has to be forced to fit a window it was never made for.
Parts we actually stock
We make the components, so replacements come off our own line rather than a shipping container.
Warranty handled locally
If something needs attention, it is our factory and our team — not an overseas supplier.
You can change your mind
Colour and control changes are easier to accommodate when the product has not yet been made.
