Description
When it comes to purchasing wholesale shutters for your home or investment property, the initial appeal is often the cost savings and broad product selection. However, an equally important part of the process is ensuring that your shutters are measured and installed correctly. That’s where using experienced contractor installers can transform your experience—from simply receiving a product to enjoying a seamless, high-quality window treatment solution.
At Apollo NZ, we offer access to experienced and well-priced contractor installers in Auckland and Christchurch, making it easier than ever to get your shutters professionally measured and installed without the stress.
Professional Measurement and Installation
One of the most significant advantages of hiring a contractor for your wholesale shutters is the accuracy and precision that comes with professional measuring and installation. Shutters, whether PVC, timber, or aluminum, need to fit exactly within the window opening or on the frame to function properly and look visually balanced.
Incorrect measurements can lead to issues such as:
Gaps that compromise privacy and light control
Panels that don’t close properly
Warping or misalignment over time
Contractor installers are trained to assess each window individually and account for factors such as out-of-square frames, deep sills, or existing window coverings. Their experience ensures a perfect fit and a smooth installation process.
Warranty and Accountability
Many wholesale shutter suppliers offer product warranties—but those warranties often don’t cover errors caused by incorrect installation. By using a certified contractor installer, you gain the additional benefit of an installation warranty on top of the product warranty.
This dual-layer protection provides peace of mind in two important ways:
If the shutters have a manufacturing issue, the product warranty covers it.
If the installation wasn’t done correctly, the contractor’s installation warranty covers it.
This accountability ensures that any issue—no matter where it originates—is resolved quickly and professionally, without leaving the customer in a frustrating blame game between supplier and installer.
Hassle-Free Experience for Homeowners
For most homeowners, installing shutters isn’t a DIY project. From transporting large panels to assembling frames and adjusting for perfect louvre movement, it can be a daunting task. Hiring a contractor removes the stress and uncertainty.
Professional installers typically handle the full process:
Final check measures
Delivery coordination
On-site installation
Adjustment and inspection of hardware
Clean-up and disposal of packaging
This streamlined experience results in fewer delays, less risk of damage during handling, and no guesswork for the homeowner.
Expert Advice and Custom Recommendations
Contractor installers don’t just install shutters—they work with them every day. Their hands-on knowledge gives them unique insight into which materials, finishes, and configurations will work best for your specific windows, location, and lifestyle.
Some of the advice contractors can provide includes:
Choosing between inside mount vs. outside mount
Selecting the right louvre size for your window proportions
Recommending materials suitable for humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens
Offering tips for combining shutters with other window treatments
This professional guidance can help you avoid costly mistakes and end up with a solution that not only looks great but functions perfectly for years to come.
