Are aluminum shutters good?

Aluminium shutters are a reliable option for protecting your home from the damages of harsh weather.
Aluminium is stronger then most other metals, and can be easily shaped into a shutter. Shutters with aluminium construction are also easy to customize with the same paint as your home’s exterior.

If you want attractive protection for your windows, aluminium shutters will provide you with efficient solar shading and storm protection at any budget level. Properly put in place, a storm kit with storm panels can protect against powerful winds and offer excellent energy efficiency as well.

Are aluminium shutters expensive?

They are not priced too high, but the prices will depend on the company.

The price of shutters can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand depending on what you choose. The more economically friendly option is to purchase aluminium-looking steel or timber louvres. Both cost about the same per square metre and whilst they’re not as sleek as real aluminium, they do a reasonable job of emulating them at a cheaper rate. Once you’re ready to take the plunge into aluminium then there are lots of options available, but be aware that these can end up costing up to four times more due to their enormous strength in windy conditions.

Do aluminium shutters rust?

In most cases, the aluminium is covered with a thin protective layer of oxide which does not allow it to rust.

In theory, there are three ways in which galvanic corrosion could be taking place on the aluminium shutters: a) a thin coating of sweat on the surface that prevents oxidation from happening and leads to serious damage after some time; b) galvanic contact materials made from ferrous metals being applied to aluminium metal during manufacturing- leading to serious long-term corrosion damage, c)applying chemically aggressive chemicals on top of the thin coating.

Are aluminium shutters toxic?

No. Aluminium does not easily react chemically with other materials so exposure to aluminium is unlikely to be life-threatening. However, inhaling finely powdered materials made from aluminium can be hazardous, potentially causing chronic respiratory diseases or lung disease.

The amount of exposure also depends on how prevalent aluminium in the material is because exposure will vary between 1mg and 1000 mg per kg of body weight. This means that someone would need to breathe in 1000 times more air particulates than before to be at risk for health concerns like hyperactivity, irritability, loss of appetite. Increased hair loss and nausea are also possible effects but these cannot be quantified due to there being no specific number measuring frequency or quantity required for this response.
