01 / Approach

Designed around the project

Performance when closed. Minimal impact when open.

The shutter box is coordinated within the wall, lintel or facade so security and shade become part of the architecture.

02 / Open + closed

One facade. Two states.

Invisible when open.
Protective when closed.

The shutter disappears above the opening when raised, then lowers into a continuous layer for shade, privacy and protection.

03 / System planning

Built into the architecture

Planned before the finishes.

The concealed box, guides, motor, insulation and service access are coordinated before exterior and interior finishes are completed.

Construction stage

Protection becomes part of the wall.

Early coordination keeps the shutter box visually quiet, preserves the finished opening and provides access for future service.

Frequently asked questions

Built-In Roller Shutters FAQ

When should built-in shutters be planned?

They should be coordinated as early as possible, ideally before windows, cladding, soffits and electrical finishes are finalized.

Can built-in shutters be added during a renovation?

Sometimes. Feasibility depends on wall depth, structure, finishes and access around the opening.

Can concealed shutters be motorized?

Yes. Motorization is commonly considered for built-in systems, with power and controls planned during construction.
