Frequently asked questions

Yes, with a compatible smart hub. You can open and close shutters from an app, set timers and scenes, and use voice assistants.
How long do shutter motors last?
A good tubular motor commonly lasts many years in domestic use. If one fails it can be replaced without replacing the whole shutter.

It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
