Wantirna: solve the right problem before choosing the shutter

Security, glare and privacy are different starting points.

A Wantirna owner may ask for shutters with several benefits in mind. The most useful next step is to rank them. A security-first brief can lead to different questions from a request focused on sunlight or daytime privacy.

ShieldCo’s site discussion should make those priorities explicit. The customer can then assess whether the proposed product, controls and installation arrangement answer the main need without creating an unwelcome compromise.

The recommendation is to avoid judging the quote by a long list of generic benefits. Ask what the shutter is expected to do at this opening, and how the completed work will be checked.

Three things to discuss

  • Rank the main reason for the purchase
  • Ask which product details support that purpose
  • Agree what will be demonstrated at completion
