Patio & bifold shutters for properties in Kirkwall
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Kirkwall has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Kirkwall, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.
We cover Kirkwall by arrangement. Because travel involves a crossing, visits are planned ahead and any travel cost is set out in the quotation before you commit.

Can the headbox be hidden?
On new extensions it can be built into the roof edge or behind a fascia. On existing houses it is fitted neatly under the lintel and colour-matched.
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.

For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Kirkwall are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
