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.

In most cases yes, by fitting a motor inside the barrel or a gear motor on the side.

Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
