Wall thickness is one of the most critical decisions when selecting aluminum profiles for roller shutters. Choose too thin, and your shutters may fail under wind load or frequent use. Choose too thick, and you're adding unnecessary weight and cost.
This guide helps you make the right choice—and shows why HXALU is the partner you can trust for consistent, reliable thickness specifications.
| Factor | Impact |
| Strength | Thicker = stronger against wind and impact |
| Weight | Thicker = heavier door |
| Cost | Thicker = more expensive |
| Application | Thickness |
| Small shop windows / Residential | 0.8 - 1.0 mm |
| Standard retail stores / Garages | 1.0 - 1.2 mm |
| Industrial facilities / Large doors | 1.2 - 1.5 mm |
| High-security / High-wind areas | 1.5 - 2.0 mm |
Additional Factors to Consider
Door width: Wider spans require thicker profiles to prevent sagging
Local wind loads: Coastal or high-rise locations need extra strength
Operation frequency: Daily use demands better durability
Security needs: Higher risk areas require thicker walls
