Some frequently asked questions

If a specific colour is needed beyond the standard options, custom RAL colours can be chosen at an additional cost.
Yes, the shutters can be customized with specific RAL colours. Custom colours outside of the standard options are available for an additional fee. This allows the shutters to align with a school’s branding or design preferences.
The shutters are available in two material options: galvanized steel or aluminium. Galvanized steel offers superior strength and durability, making it ideal for high-security applications, while aluminium is lighter and more resistant to corrosion, suitable for environments that prioritize aesthetics and long-term low maintenance.
Both galvanized steel and aluminium shutters are designed to be highly durable. Galvanized steel provides excellent protection against physical impacts, while aluminium is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it a great choice for areas exposed to moisture. Both materials are suitable for long-term use in a school environment with minimal maintenance.
The installation process typically takes between 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This timeline includes the time needed for preparation, installation, and any necessary adjustments. Schools will receive a more accurate timeline based on the specific details of their project.
