Roller shutters are an excellent addition to any property, providing security, insulation, and privacy. Among the components that contribute to their smooth functioning are roller shutter straps.
In this blog post, we will explain what shutter straps are, their importance, how to replace them and where to buy them.
1. What are Roller Shutter Straps?
They also known as webbing straps or lifting straps, are durable and flexible components that play a vital role in the operation of roller shutters. They are usually made from high-quality materials such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene, which ensure their strength and longevity.
These straps are attached to the bottom rail of the shutter and wind around a drum at the top of the shutter casing. When the shutter is operated, either manually or using a motorized mechanism, the roller shutter straps lift and lower the shutter, enabling smooth and controlled movement.
2. How to Replace Roller Shutter Straps:
