Everything about steel, polycarbonate and industrial PVC shutters

steel shutter

Permanent ventilation, thermal comfort e air qualityThese are some benefits of industrial shutters. As they are natural ventilation solutions, there is no energy consumption, which is essential for industries that seek sustainability and resource optimization.

Among the differenttypes of industrial shutters, the steel shutter is one of the most used due to its durability and resistance. The choice of material basically depends on the features you want and the particularities of each project. In this post, we will talk about what you need to consider in your decision. Check it out!

What to consider when choosing an industrial shutter

Designers seeking thermal comfort through shutters must be very attentive to the sizing of the solution. count onspecialized suppliers– which work with top-notch materials and intelligent methodologies – is crucial to guarantee a high-performance system.

Speaking of intelligent methods, you already know Computational Fluid DynamicUnderstand how this modeling software optimizes your louvered ventilation project!

Furthermore, thepermeability of shutter finsmust also be taken into consideration. This factor is decisive in the choice due to the following relationship: the more permeable the fins, the more air will pass through the openings and, consequently, the more efficient the system will be.

However, it is also necessary to consider the permeability limit of the fins, in order not to compromise the watertightness of the solution. This means thatThe ideal shutter is one that is air permeable and watertight. This way, there will be no problems arising from rain or storms.

Steel shutter durability

Another very important aspect when buying industrial shutters is the resistance and durability of the material. In this regard,the steel shutter is unbeatable. However, it is worth remembering that this is an opaque option, that is, it does not allow light to pass through. Not surprisingly, this type of shutter is the most chosen in industries that operate with strict lighting control, such as infood branch.

If the steel uprights are painted, the shutter's useful life will be even longer. Not to mention that this way, it is also possible to integrate the shutters into the company's visual identity. The impeccable and minimalist design is another highlight, capable of modernizing the look of the factory and enhancing the project.

How polycarbonate and PVC shutters work

To thepolycarbonate shutters e PVCThey are also highly sought after options in the specialized market. However, PVC is not as advantageous an alternative as steel shutters in terms of cost-benefit, as this material is less resistant to impacts. Furthermore, PVC can yellow over time, compromising the aesthetics of the system.

Polycarbonate shutters are ideal for industries that seeknatural lighting. In addition to masterfully fulfilling the mission of bringing thermal comfort and renewing the air in the warehouse, the shutters in this material featureexcellent light reflection rate, helping to keep the workplace well lit without the need for artificial lamps – which helps to save energy.

Natural ventilation systems with shutters are sustainable options for those looking to combineenergy efficiencyand high productivity in industry. A well-designed project will eliminate the need to use air conditioning devices, for example, which represents significant savings on your electricity bill.

As for the type of shutter, we saw that the choice of material will depend on the particularities of each project. Although the steel shutter stands out for its greater durability, shutters made from other materials do not lose their benefits,as a guarantee of thermal comfort and air quality.

The fact that they do not consume energy to operate is one of the great differences of shutters, regardless of the type of material. Another advantage is that these solutions require little maintenance, which also helps to reduce operational expenses. The possibility of addingprotective screens(mosquito net and bird screen) makes the shutters even more functional.

However, you will only find these advantages and differences if you are relying on a supplier specialized in the field.
