Questions about patio & bifold door roller shutters in Galashiels
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.
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.
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes. Galashiels and the TD1 postcode district are part of our coverage across Scottish Borders.
Is the survey free in Galashiels?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
