Wheelers Hill: consider how every shutter will be reached

Ease of operation belongs in the original design.

For a Wheelers Hill owner considering shutters on more than one level, the day-to-day controls deserve early attention. A window that is awkward to reach should not require an awkward routine to protect.

ShieldCo’s motorised options allow the homeowner to discuss switch and remote arrangements before installation. The quote should be explicit about what is included and any electrical work needed to support it.

Maintenance access also deserves a question. A well-presented installation is easier to live with when the owner knows how it will be operated, cleaned and serviced over time. Those are useful details to settle at the site visit.

Three things to discuss

  • Discuss upstairs and hard-to-reach windows
  • Confirm the power and control arrangement
  • Ask about future service access
