Various types of aluminum profiles are used for the manufacture of roller shutters.

Roller shutters are also divided by the type of control: manual or electric. The choice depends on the user's preferences and ease of use.

How to install a blind?

Installation can be difficult for beginners, but you'll get the hang of it in no time. Although there are many ways to attach it due to different designs, there are general instructions for most options.

• Open the back door of the pickup truck.
• Align the front part of the blind with the front part of the body.
• Secure the roller blind with clamps or fasteners, ensuring its stability and reliability.
• After fixing, check whether the blind can be opened and closed freely.
• Complete the installation, close the back door of the pickup.

Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific model for best results.

Which roller shutter provides the highest security for your belongings?

Regarding the level of security, rigid and retractable blinds are in the lead. The former have a seal that seals them together with the tailgate lock, while the latter have a multi-layered surface with a lock and key system. In other words, if both the tailgate lock and the pickup lid lock are set to the "locked" position, you will not be able to access the body of your pickup unless you use the pickup key.

Do they change fuel consumption?

Yes, they do.All movements of vehicles are affected by air resistance. This is the wind acting against your car as you drive. To reduce its impact, companies make 4WD designs.

When you have a roller blind, the wind passes easily over the body of your pickup truck and reduces air resistance because it doesn't have to go inside. As a result, the indicator of fuel consumption improvesby 10%.
