Wide patio and bifold openings in Portishead may need a shutter split into two on a shared centre guide, depending on the span and the wind on that side of the house.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Portishead has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
