What can you expect across West Glamorgan?
We work right across West Glamorgan, including Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Gorseinon. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next.

What makes the difference?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
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.
