Why can a reinforced shutter not be bent?

Because its bottom slat has a 4 mm steel T-profile joined to it, and a T, because of its shape, does not bend to either side.

An ordinary slat is a long, thin strip: if it is pushed in the middle, it curves and comes out of the guides. That is its weak point.

When the T is glued and screwed underneath the slat, the two pieces work together. The slat can no longer curve, because the T will not let it. And as the bolts at the ends are slotted into the wall, it cannot be lifted either.

That is why we put it like this: we reinforce roller shutters so they cannot be lifted or bent. If you want to see the idea in more detail, go to how the T-profile reinforcement works or to shutter security.
