Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Chatham: questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Chatham?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
