Outside or inside box

  • Outside box: ideal for quick installation and easy access.
  • Inside box: a cleaner look and better aesthetic integration into the facade.

The choice is made before measurement, because the box affects the facade’s appearance and the available space.

What to ask before ordering

  • Does the shutter fit your window (uPVC or aluminium)?
  • Which colour matches the window or door profile?
  • For motorised shutters: which motor is selected for the weight and size?
  • Do you receive a user guide for the remote control at handover?

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a motor without accounting for the shutter’s weight and size.
  • Deciding the box type (outside or inside) after measurement, when it is too late.
  • A shutter colour that doesn’t match the window or door profile.
  • Forgetting the remote-control guide at handover.
