Frequently Asked Questions
Does either system automatically satisfy local requirements?
Ask the installer and applicable local authority about the exact assembly, opening dimensions, supporting structure and attachment method. A general material label does not establish approval for an individual project.
What should I try before choosing?
Request a demonstration of the proposed operating method. Check whether you can reach and operate the system, whether stored components are accessible, and how the opening can be used when protection is not deployed.
Which is cheaper?
Request matching written quotes for the same openings and preparation work. Include installation, finish work, operation and maintenance needs in the comparison.
