Manual Shutters
Although many people we talk to every day say they are looking for a manual and basic steel roller shutter so many of them end up buying an electric operated roller door as it is not realised how small the difference can actually be in price. In fact, at certain sizes it may actually be cheaper to have a singe phase tubular motor drive and certainly far more convenient when operating the shutter, infrequently or not.
A manually operated roller shutter is fine as long as the operational effort is understood fully and the speed at which a large door will open and close is also taken into account. Manual roller shutters can be the perfect way to bring the convenience and security of roller shutters to your home or office at an affordable price. For most domestic and office environments where window and door apertures are relatively small and easy to reach, they can offer a good basic shutter and they are particularly suitable where there are only a couple of small doors or windows, such as a small shop front that needs opening and closing once a day.
