Built-in exterior shutter variants
Below are the main configuration directions for built-in shutters. The difference lies in slat material, desired resistance level and the comfort option you want to integrate from start.
Built-in shutters with aluminium slats
Built-in shutters with aluminium slats are the recommended choice in premium projects. Aluminium provides more stability, better long-term behaviour and a more solid feel in use. In Schlotterer documentation, aluminium slats are presented as double-wall profiles with light and ventilation slits, suitable for resistant, well-configured solutions.
They are particularly suitable when:
- you have large glazed surfaces
- you want a premium solution for sun- and weather-exposed facades
- durability and stable long-term look matter
Built-in shutters with PVC slats
Built-in shutters with PVC slats are a good option when you want clean integration and good functionality, on a more balanced budget. Still made-to-order exterior built-in shutters, but with a more practical positioning rather than premium.
They are particularly suitable when:
- you have standard windows and usual sizes
- you want good joinery integration
- you want an efficient solution without overspecifying
Built-in shutters with insect screen
One of the most appreciated configurations in residential projects. You get shading and solar protection plus daily-comfort solution — very useful in bedrooms, living rooms and terrace-access zones. The catalogue mentions compatibility with insect systems including roller, swing frame, sliding or fixed.
They are particularly suitable when:
- you want a complete system, not just shading
- you have windows used often for ventilation
- you want to address insect protection from start
