Guide
Navigating Roller Shutter Installation in Melbourne
Roller shutter installation follows a clear path: an on-site measure, a written quote, supply of shutters made to suit each opening, then installation and a walk-through of how everything works. Knowing the steps helps you prepare and makes installation day straightforward.
Updated
The installation process step by step
- Measure and quote — each opening is measured on site and options are discussed.
- Confirmation — you approve the quote, colours and operation.
- Supply — shutters are supplied to suit each opening.
- Installation — the head box, guide rails and curtain are fixed, and electric shutters are connected.
- Handover — operation, remotes and care are explained.
How to prepare for installation day
- Clear access to the windows and doors being fitted, inside and out.
- Move pot plants, furniture and vehicles away from the walls.
- Let us know about pets, alarms or access restrictions.
- For electric shutters, ask whether power points or wiring are needed before the install.
DIY vs professional installation
Kit shutters exist, but installing a shutter properly means accurate measuring, secure fixing to the wall type, alignment of the guide rails and — for electric shutters — licensed electrical work. Mistakes lead to sticking, noise, gaps and early wear.
| DIY | Professional | |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring | Your responsibility; errors are costly | Measured on site |
| Fixing and alignment | Depends on skill and tools | Done to suit the wall and opening |
| Electric shutters | Wiring must still be done by a licensed electrician | Arranged as part of the job |
| If something goes wrong | Your problem to fix | Raised with the installer |
