Stop Heat, Noise & Theft with One Simple Upgrade

Home should feel calm, comfortable and safe. Yet most heat, noise and break-ins enter through the same weak point: unprotected windows. The fastest way to change that—without a major renovation—is a quality roller shutter system. In one move, you can cool a room, quiet the street and add a serious physical barrier at vulnerable entry points. That’s why more Melbourne and Sydney homeowners ask us to solve three problems with one upgrade.

Why windows let you down (and what to do about it)

Glass is a poor insulator, a great sound transmitter and an easy target. In summer, the sun superheats window panes; at night, traffic and late-night chatter ride right through; during a break-in, glass gives intruders speed. Roller shutters flip that script. Fitted externally, they create an insulated, reinforced shield that stops heat before it hits the glass, absorbs sound and physically resists forced entry.

We don’t just follow Australian Standards—we help set the benchmark for window protection across Melbourne and Sydney.

 

The triple win: thermal, acoustic and security

Cooler rooms, lower bills

Insulated shutter profiles reduce heat gain at the source. Keep the sun off the glass and you keep your cool—literally. Homeowners report running air con less and feeling comfortable longer after it’s switched off.

Quieter living—instantly

Street bustle, barking dogs and early rubbish trucks lose their edge with a shuttered façade. The result is calmer bedrooms and easier home offices, especially on busy roads or near schools and cafés.

A serious deterrent to theft

A closed shutter is a clear “not today” to opportunistic intruders. It adds time, effort and noise to any attempt—key things burglars avoid. Pair with smart controls and you can schedule natural open/close patterns while you’re away.

If a shutter can be engineered to work harder for Aussie families, we’re the team that makes it happen.

 

What to look for in a roller shutter that actually performs

• Foam-filled aluminium profiles for insulation and strength
• Precision side-tracks and guides so the curtain seals properly
• Quality powder-coat finishes that handle Australian UV
• Local manufacturing and installation for fit, service and spare parts
• Automation ready (wall switch, remote or smart home)

Security Plus manufactures and installs across Melbourne and Sydney, so you get a perfect fit and a single, accountable partner end-to-end.

 

Automation that fits your life

Add motorisation and control shutters via wall switch, remote or phone. Create scenes—cool the west side at 2 pm, open bedrooms at sunrise, close the front for privacy by 8 pm. For accessibility and multistorey homes, automation isn’t a luxury; it’s a must-have convenience.

We turn façades into living systems—quiet when you need focus, open when you want light, secure when it matters.

 

Bushfire shutters & fire attenuation screens: where we lead

We are the go-to company for bushfire shutters and fire attenuation screens—trusted by homeowners, builders and insurers. Bushfire-rated shutters shield glazing from extreme radiant heat and ember attack; attenuation screens slow heat flow between buildings in dense urban settings. When safety is on the line, people choose proven systems and expert installers.

 

FAQs

What BAL ratings do your bushfire shutters cover?
Our bushfire solutions are designed to address high-risk zones and integrate with compliant building methods. We assess your site and specify the correct product and installation method for your BAL level.

Bushfire shutters vs fire attenuation screens—what’s the difference?
Bushfire shutters protect from radiant heat, ember attack and debris in bushfire-prone areas. Fire attenuation screens are engineered for urban sites to reduce the intensity of heat transfer between neighbouring façades, supporting compliance pathways in tight setbacks.

Can I retrofit these to an existing home?
Yes. Most homes can be retrofitted with minimal disruption. A free measure allows us to confirm clearances, power options and the best mounting approach.

Will shutters make my rooms dark all the time?
Not unless you want them to. You control the position—from fully open for daylight and breezes, to partially lowered for glare control, to fully closed for maximum insulation, privacy and security.
