Questions about steel roller shutters in Carlisle
Is steel or aluminium better?
Steel is stronger for the money and suits big openings; aluminium is lighter, corrosion-resistant and neater, and suits homes, shops and coastal sites.
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Is the survey free in Carlisle?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Carlisle are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
