Rowville: specify the broad opening carefully

Ask what changes when the window gets wider.

For a Rowville property with a broad opening, the details of the shutter profile deserve a clear explanation. Width can influence the proposed arrangement, so a homeowner should not assume every opening uses an identical specification.

ShieldCo can be asked whether reinforcement is included, what its appearance will be and how the motor and controls are selected. Those questions are particularly useful when the shutter will be a prominent part of the house.

The installation should be assessed against the agreed opening, substrate and product specification. A tidy finish and smooth demonstration are visible checks; the underlying design should be documented before the order.

Three things to discuss

  • Confirm width and profile selection
  • Discuss reinforcement and its appearance
  • Agree operation and fitting details
