Frequently asked questions
Can a manual shutter be motorised later?
In most cases yes, by fitting a motor inside the barrel or a gear motor on the side.
Why is my push-up shutter heavy?
The springs that balance the curtain lose tension over time. Re-tensioning or replacing them usually fixes it.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Falmouth?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
