Rathfriland shutter FAQ
Q.Will an insurer accept the shutter we fit?
Bring us the wording. We specify the curtain, guides and locking to the level the policy names, which is usually where a cheap shutter falls short.
Q.Do you cover units around Rathfriland commercial area?
Yes, Rathfriland commercial area and the surrounding Rathfriland commercial area are on our regular service routes.
Q.What is the difference between a security shutter and a fire shutter?
A security shutter resists forced entry. A fire shutter is a rated closure designed to hold a fire compartment for a specified period and is tested and certified as such. They are not interchangeable.
Q.Can we keep the window display visible in Rathfriland?
Yes. Punched vision lath or a brick-bond grille keeps the display readable overnight while still presenting a physical barrier.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Rathfriland where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Rathfriland and the wider BT34 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
