Custom shutter installation
From an opening measurement to a practical installation plan.
The decision
What matters at this opening
A good installation begins with the details around the opening: structure, headroom, guides, power and safe access. The shutter and operator should be selected together so the finished system fits the way your property is used.
How to get started
Send a photo of the whole opening, approximate dimensions and a description of the current condition. For an existing system, a model label and a short description of its operation can help narrow the assessment. Final recommendations depend on an inspection and the product specifications.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need measurements before calling?
Approximate dimensions and photos help with an initial discussion. Final fabrication measurements should be confirmed on site.
Can a shutter be mounted outside the opening?
Some systems permit face mounting; the wall, clearances and manufacturer requirements decide what is appropriate.
Do electric shutters need an electrician?
Permanent wiring may require a qualified electrical trade and applicable permits. Confirm this during planning.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the opening and scope of electrical and structural work. A schedule should follow a site assessment.
Will I be shown how to operate it?
An installation handover should include operation, basic care and what to do if the shutter behaves unusually.
