Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
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.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Falkirk?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
