Common Challenges and Solutions
Our decades of experience across the Highlands have taught us how to handle local challenges effectively.
1. Heritage Building Restrictions
We collaborate with local councils and heritage consultants to install shutters that complement traditional façades while meeting modern standards. Discreet pelmet boxes and heritage colour options maintain architectural integrity.
2. Power Limitations on Rural Properties
Solar-powered motorised systems offer full functionality without electrical infrastructure. Perfect for farms and remote homes.
3. Extreme Weather Durability
Our products are tested for high wind resistance and corrosion, featuring durable powder coatings and reinforced slats for long-lasting performance.
Maintenance and Care
Roller shutters require minimal upkeep to stay in top condition. Simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent every few months. For motorised units, we recommend annual servicing to ensure smooth, reliable operation.
Maintenance Tips:
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Check seals and guides annually.
- Keep tracks free of debris.
With proper care, Highland Blinds roller shutters can last 20+ years, maintaining their protective and aesthetic appeal.
