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.
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.
How much do patio & bifold door roller shutters cost in Wickford?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Wickford confirms the specification and fixes the price.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Wickford?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
