Maxiview - Maxiblock Aluminium Shutters

Extensive work by the Blockout research and development team has led to the design of Blockout Maxiblock, registered design catering specifically for clients where security is the main application, while still providing all of the benefits of an original Blockout shutter.

Research has shown that one of the most common strategies used by would be intruders is to attack the shutters bottom slat and side guides (tracks). Blockout's answer was to firstly strengthen the bottom slat making it the strongest security bar available on the Australian market.

As a second line of defence Blockout developed the registered Maxiblock tracks. These are deeper for more support and four times thicker than standard shutter tracks for greater security.

A unique feature of the Maxiblock track is that it incorporates an internal locking chamber that secures the shutter slats inside the tracks. Maxiblock makes it almost impossible to pull the slats out of position so it's not only a security feature, but it also protects your windows from flying debris, hail etc caused from storms.

The Maxiblock Extruded is the strongest of our shutters as it is made form a double walled extruded profile (or slat) whereas the normal shutters are made from roll formed aluminium. The wall thickness is 1.2mm as compared with 0.38mm for the normal shutters.

An additional advantage of the Maxiblock Extruded system is that each shutter is custom made allowing for the light and ventilation holes to be perfectly aligned with each other. The shutter can create a total blockout effect or provide a soft filtered light.

Whilst having all these features it still provides all the necessary insulation benefits of the standard shutter such as heat, cold, noise, light & bushfires.

The Extruded profile also allows you to powder coat or anodise the shutter in any non standard colour so you may suit your window frames or external surroundings.
