Maintaining and cleaning your roller shutters is essential to ensure they function smoothly and remain in good condition. Start by regularly removing dust, dirt, and debris from the shutters using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.

For cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a soft cloth to wipe down the surface of the shutters. 

Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material or the paint finish. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

Additionally, it’s important to check the mechanisms, such as the tracks and hinges, for signs of wear or obstruction. 

Lubricating the moving parts, like the guides and bearings, with a silicone-based spray will keep everything running smoothly. Scheduling a professional inspection annually can help identify potential issues before they become serious problems.

Yes, roller shutters can indeed be automated or motorised, providing a high level of convenience and ease of use. We offer motorisation for both new installations and existing manual shutters.

Motorised roller shutters can be operated using a wall switch, remote control, or even through smart home systems that allow you to control the shutters via a mobile app. This is particularly beneficial for larger or hard-to-reach shutters, making operation simpler and more efficient.

Furthermore, our motorised systems come with safety features such as auto-reverse mechanisms that prevent the shutters from closing if an obstruction is detected. This feature not only enhances ease of use but also improves the overall safety of the system.

While welding is a versatile process that allows various metals to be joined, there are certain metal combinations that cannot be successfully welded together. One common issue arises when trying to weld metals with significantly different melting points.

For example, aluminium and stainless steel are not typically welded together using conventional welding methods, as their melting points and thermal conductivities differ greatly. 

Similarly, titanium and steel are generally incompatible for welding due to their differing chemical and mechanical properties. Metals that form brittle intermetallic compounds, such as copper and aluminium, also present challenges.

Even when a weld seems possible, the resulting joint may lack the strength or durability needed for practical applications. In such cases, special techniques like explosion welding or the use of transitional alloys may be required. It's important to consult a professional welder to determine the best approach for your specific project.
