Frequently Asked Questions
PVC or mesh — which is right for me?
PVC provides a complete weather barrier and retains warmth, making it ideal for colder conditions. Mesh allows airflow, reduces glare and heat, and maintains your view. We offer the flexibility to combine both systems depending on your specific needs and façade.
How wind-resistant are they?
To ensure optimal wind resistance, we carefully select hardware based on your site’s exposure. We can also incorporate side-tracks and anchoring for added stability. Our team will advise you on the safe operational limits for your specific installation.
Can they be automated?
Yes. Manual spring or crank options, or add motorisation with remote and smart app control.
Do you deliver and install nationwide?
We measure and install along the Garden Route. Supply-only orders ship nationwide with guidance.
