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.
Can you fit a shutter over bifold doors?
Yes. The shutter runs outside the folding doors in its own guides, so it does not interfere with them. Very wide bifolds are often split into two shutters on a centre post.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Stevenage?
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.
How much do patio & bifold door roller shutters cost in Stevenage?
The guide prices above apply in Stevenage. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
