Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Margate: 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.
Is the survey free in Margate?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do you cover Margate?
Yes. Margate and the CT9 postcode district are part of our coverage across Kent.
