ROLLER SHUTTER COLOURS

Which Roller shutter colour is right for me?

The general rule of thumb with roller shutters is to get something that matches the light or dark colour of your wall with the colour of the roller shutter.

The head box, guide rails and bottom slat should be generally in keeping with the rest of the shutter. So the same colour or a non contrasting similar colour. So dark colours like black, grey work well together, whereas, white rails with black will not work well together!

Unless your house has a white and black theme on the walls or something a little different then you are probably just going to opt for something fitting with the rest of the home.

Black Roller Shutters

Black Roller Shutter Design Choice

Black roller shutters are a popular choice if you have a dark wall and a combination of a dark head box and guide rails will give the optimal low-contrast design.

Are Black Roller Shutters Good For Block Out?

Black roller shutters are ideal for blocking light. They will help keep your home cool by preventing light from getting into your home and by absorbing heat.

Black roller shutters are better for complete blackout from the glaring sun outside. This means less light will come through the window and warm the room up.

WHITE Roller Shutters

White Roller Shutter Design Choice

White roller shutters are best selected when you have a light render on a wall with light bricks or a combination of lighter colours surrounding the shutter.

You rarely want to mix up high contrast between light and dark.

In the picture shown, you can see where the darker grey guide rail, bottom bar and headbox being darker create a contrast to the wall behind. It can look good in some cases, but generally, you want to keep the colours similar.

Are White Roller Shutters good for reflecting heat?

White roller shutters reflect light which means that less light will turn into radiant heat and warm the shutter surface up. A bit like how a white vehicle tends to stay cooler than a black vehicle.
