Manual and electric roller shutters serve different practical needs, and the right choice depends on opening size, usage, access and specification.

Manual shutters

Manual shutters may be suitable for some smaller or simpler commercial openings where powered operation is not required.

Electric shutters

Electric shutters can be more practical for larger or frequently used openings, subject to power, controls and site access requirements.

Repair and replacement

If an existing shutter is difficult to operate, repair or replacement may be recommended depending on condition.
