Questions about patio & bifold door roller shutters in Blackpool
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.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Blackpool?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Blackpool?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Blackpool are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
