What happens across Berkshire?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Reading, Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead are among the places we cover. Councils here include Reading, Bracknell Forest and Windsor and Maidenhead. Reading and Slough carry the large retail units, while Windsor, Newbury and Wokingham have older streets where the frontage has to suit the building.
What should you think about first?
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
