Manual and Automatic Shutters in the Adelaide Hills

What manual and automatic shutters in the Adelaide Hills actually involves

Both are active systems and need to be deployed manually or by an automatic system. As an active system, the shutter must be manually closed to be effective; consider using an automated system to close the shutter.

What to ask

The guide does not say which system suits a house or what either costs. Ask the provider how the shutter closes, who closes it when no one is home, and what powers the motor if there is one. The windows and doors page adds that all windows and doors should be closed when threatened by bushfire, which is one more reason to ask the provider how a shutter would close when no one is home.

Ask the provider how each shutter would be closed on the day, and by whom.
