Questions about patio & bifold door roller shutters in Birmingham
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.
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.
Do you cover Birmingham?
Yes, we survey and fit in Birmingham (B postcodes) as part of our West Midlands coverage.
Is the survey free in Birmingham?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Birmingham are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
