Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Felixstowe: questions
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.
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 Felixstowe?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Felixstowe are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Felixstowe?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
