Modern's automatic and unique locking system makes roller shutters the perfect barrier against forced intrusion, making entry practically impossible, especially with the NRMA reporting that more than half of all domestic break-ins are through unprotected windows.
Energy Savings
Modern's Roller Shutters are fully insulated, they can stop much of the heat and cold saving you quite substantially on your heating and cooling energy bills. As your windows are the thinnest part of your home's structure and since glass is such a good conductor of heat, a great deal of heat transfer occurs through your windows. Shutters protect this weak point and can keep your home comfortable no matter what the weather is outside. They have been tested on model homes in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne to lower your electricity bill and reduce your carbon footprint as well.

When you want to have control over the temperature and keep it at a comfortable level, the insulating features of Modern Roller shutters keeps your home warmer, provides significant energy savings for costly heating alternatives and offers reduced energy bills for owners.
Light Control
Light and ventilation can be adjusted to create a pleasant, softly lit atmosphere. Modern Roller Shutters prevent sunlight and harmful ultra-violet and infra-red waves from fading and damaging carpets, interior furnishings and paintings as well as acting as a long-term protection for window frames. Not only popular with shift workers and parents with small children, Modern Roller Shutters are quickly becoming a household favourite for home entertainment theatres where complete light control is needed to create that true theatre experience.
Noise Protection
Independent laboratory tests on roller shutters have demonstrated that they can reduce noise transmission through a window opening by up to 50%*. The insulation within the shutters provide this protection and benefits not only those with small children or shift workers but anyone wanting peace and quiet from unwanted noise like traffic, lawn mowers, dogs, airplanes and even neighbours just to name a few.
Weather Protection
Modern's special design ensures that our shutters do not rattle during high winds, hail and driving rain all the while protecting your home from flying debris, branches, fallen trees as well as broken glass had your windows been left unprotected. The NRMA reports that severe storms are the most frequently occurring hazard in Australia.
Fire Protection
As a first-line protection, Modern Roller Shutters create a barrier that helps prevent damage from bushfires. Simulated CSIRO testing proved that the roller shutters retained integrity and remained operable at the peak exposure level, whereas the unprotected glass simply exploded. Another benefit is that Modern Roller Shutters can stop burning embers entering your home, whereas if left unprotected these embers could float through and ignite the building.
Privacy
Everyone needs their own space and in the comfort of your own home no-one should have to worry about outsiders peeking in. Whether you have a bedroom or lounge facing the road or need some peace of mind from prying eyes and ears on the sides and back, Modern Roller Shutters are the solution. With perforation holes that can be kept open, you can enjoy the natural light and airflow while still maintaining complete privacy as you can see outside and no-one can see in.
