Quote: hinged shutters
E.g.: Restoring a façade with traditional wooden hinged shutters.
Photograph the façade with shutters open and closed, plus fixings reachable without exposing yourself to a fall. State whether retaining the design, changing material or adding shutters to an unequipped window. Survey must assess new leaves and their building fixings.
Choose a design, not just a material
EHRET presents several aluminium-shutter infills, including panels and fixed or adjustable slats. Request the exact drawing: leaf division, infill, colour and opening direction. Material name alone does not establish these choices.
Assess hinges, stays and supports
Check retained fixing compatibility with new leaves and wall condition. Show swing space and open position with intended stays. Describe difficulty operating from inside and request wind-use instructions.
Plan actual care
EHRET publishes cleaning and care instructions for aluminium shutters; the material does not mean no maintenance. Request surface and hardware instructions for your product. No universal repainting interval is set for every timber and exposure.
Respect the façade project
INPA supports restoration projects. For a building of heritage interest, clarify retained elements and relevant parties. Check façade-specific constraints with the municipality too; this page does not claim timber is mandatory everywhere.
Indicative prices in Luxembourg
On quotation
Compare a defined assembly: leaf count, dimensions, infill, finish, hardware and support work. A pair does not suit every composition. Request material prices and cut-out premiums for your drawing; no comparable local average is available here.
Subsidies and grants
No grant is deducted from the budget shown here. If a quote mentions support, request the exact scheme and confirmation of your eligibility before including it in financing.
Frequently asked questions
Can existing hinges stay?
After checking condition, fixing and compatibility with new leaves.
Is aluminium maintenance-free?
No. Follow model instructions for surfaces and mechanisms.
Is timber mandatory on every old house?
No such general rule is stated here. Check the building and project with relevant parties.
Are two leaves always needed?
Specify a composition suited to the opening; do not assume a pair covers every case.
