Frequently asked questions
How wide can one patio shutter be?
Around 3,000 mm in a standard foam-filled lath, and wider with stronger extruded profiles. We confirm the maximum for your opening at survey.
Will a shutter keep my extension cooler?
Yes, an external shutter stops sun reaching the glass, which is far more effective at reducing heat than an internal blind.
Do you cover Barrow-in-Furness?
Yes, we survey and fit in Barrow-in-Furness (LA14) as part of our Cumbria coverage.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Barrow-in-Furness?
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.
