Hello everyone,

Wishing you a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!

I want to replace the belts for the roller shutters. I have no idea how to do it 🙂
Before I start, I would like to know what makes more sense. Should I just replace the belts or switch to electric operation right away?
Is it possible to replace the shutter slats later if an electric motor is installed?

We have narrow windows/doors, as you can see in the photos, but also two windows that are four times as wide as the ones in the pictures.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
afriend
