Frequently asked questions
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder-coating adds another layer. Scratches and coastal air speed up corrosion, so regular cleaning helps.
Is the survey free in Colchester?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
