Metal shutter repair in Paris 3

Designers on rue Charlot, galleries on rue de Turenne, concept stores on rue de Bretagne: in the Haut-Marais, the shop window matters as much as the shutter. We repair metal shutters in the 3rd 24/7 and fit micro-perforated shutters that keep the shop on view once it has closed.

Metal shutter repair Paris 3
Micro-perforated slats of a metal shutter

The micro-perforated shutter: closed, but visible

Micro-perforated slats are pierced with a multitude of tiny holes: you can see the lit window behind the lowered shutter, and the shop stays protected.

It is the choice of many galleries and shops in the Haut-Marais, which keep showing their pieces in the evening and on Sunday mornings. The shutter is made to measure, manual or motorised. In the conservation area, changing the look of a shopfront requires permission: check this before replacing a solid shutter with a different model.

Making the right choice

  • Micro-perforated: window on view, protection against break-ins.
  • Cobra grille: more open, it lets air and light through.
  • Solid slats: opaque, for a storeroom or a workshop.

Shops and galleries in the 3rd: where we work

The northern Marais is full of designers, galleries and delicatessens; here are the streets where we are called out most often.

Rue Charlot and rue de Saintonge

Fashion and jewellery designers, small, carefully dressed windows: discreet shutters, which we adjust so that they come down smoothly.

  • Rue Charlot
  • Rue de Saintonge
  • Rue de Poitou

Rue de Bretagne and the marché des Enfants-Rouges

Grocers, wine merchants and delis open early and close late: their shutters work hard and benefit from regular adjustment.

  • Rue de Bretagne
  • Rue de Picardie
  • Rue Commines
  • Rue de Beauce

Rue de Turenne and rue Debelleyme

Art galleries and showrooms: a micro-perforated shutter keeps the works on view, and a sturdy shutter lock protects access at night.

Shop shutters in the 3rd: your questions

Send a photo of the shopfront with the shutter down: we’ll tell you which type of slat is right.

Can a solid shutter be converted into a micro-perforated one?

We replace the curtain, that is, the whole set of slats, often keeping the shaft, the guide rails and the motor if they are in good condition. Before the work, check that the change to the shopfront is permitted.

Does a micro-perforated shutter protect as well as a solid one?

Against a break-in, it offers resistance comparable to that of a solid shutter of the same thickness; it does, however, give less protection from prying eyes. For a storeroom, solid slats are still preferable.

My shutter squeaks and comes down in jerks: is it serious?

It is often a lack of greasing or dirty guide rails, sometimes a worn spring. Better to have it adjusted before it jams: we come by appointment or as an emergency.

Do you come out on Sundays, when the Marais shops are open?

Yes, 7 days a week and at any hour. A shutter that stays shut on a Sunday means a day of sales lost: let us know at the first sign of a fault.
