Hello,
I would like to have exterior roller shutters installed. These will be box-type roller shutters mounted above the window on the outside. I prefer manually operated shutters. The technician from the company that took the measurements told me this is not possible because there is not enough space above the window.
On the upper floor, my windows actually go almost up to the ceiling. There is only 7 cm (3 inches) of space up to the ceiling. Is it correct that this is not enough space to install manually operated roller shutters?
Unfortunately, the technician could not explain well why this is the case, and I got the impression he preferred to sell the more expensive electrically operated ones.
Can anyone tell me how much height above the window is required to install box-type roller shutters that can be operated manually?
Thanks in advance!

Bertram, you have a new build. Why didn’t you have them installed right away?Because the house was built by a developer and roller shutters were not included in the original plan. There wasn’t much input allowed regarding the floor plan. And I probably wouldn’t have thought about it beforehand anyway.
