5 Things To Check Before Choosing A Roller Shutter Company

1. Check on The Installers Track Record
Find out if the shutter company has a permanent, trained work force, or hire contractors to do the work. Some companies outsource the installation of shutters to contractors. The contractor is often remunerated based on the number of shutters they install. Which can inadvertently compromise the quality of the installation, because they are more concerned in meeting their numbers, rather than producing a quality installation. Poorly installed shutters can impact the operation of the roller shutter and lead to maintenance issues. Furthermore, you might experience problems getting a shutter company to service your shutters if the work was outsourced to installation contractors.

2. Check The Quality of The Shutter
Some foreign imported shutters from countries such as China are sometimes less reliable then  ‘Australian made’ shutters. Lower price however, does not always mean low quality. There are two factors that can affect the shutters. The first is the quality of the shutter and how well they are made. And secondly, the installation. It’s really important that the shutters are fitted correctly to the exterior and interior of the house to avoid maintenance issues later on.

3. Who is Pricing and Quoting Your Shutters Project?
In an effort to increase sales, some companies hire salespeople to do their quoting. However, sales people will not always have the industry experience to quote accurately. This can result in slightly inflated pricing due to the incorrect scope and scale of the project. Salespeople are paid on performance. So you could end up with quotes for non-essential things just to increase the value of the sale. It’s a good idea to seek more than one quote before making your decision.

4. Check Your Premise Will be Tidied After The Shutters Are Installed
There’s nothing worse than having to tidy up after builders vacate your premises. Clarify with your installer that your premise will be tidied up once the project is complete.

5. Do The Shutters Come With A Guarantee?
You must feel confident that the installer of your shutters will carry out a professional job. However, you can not be totally sure, so ask whether they offer some form of guarantee to give you peace of mind.

• Winch Winder (Good for home windows)
  • A winch is placed on the inside wall of the room and the handle is wound for the up and down movement of the shutter. We use steel cable on our winch, which is a lot more durable than the standard tape commonly used, which can easily break rubbing on any materials through the wall.
