Where to start
Notes from the workshop on choosing, renovating, motorising and repairing closures on the French Riviera. They are written for people who have to make a decision, not to fill a page.
Start here
- Roller shutters made to measure — the three ways a shutter is fitted, aluminium against PVC, and what decides between them.
- Insect screens — which type suits which opening, and why the mesh matters as much as the frame.
- Vision+ — the slat that spans up to six metres without a post in the middle.
- Garage doors — roller or sectional, and how to choose on space and insulation.
Outdoor living
- Bioclimatic pergolas — rotating blades, integrated drainage, and the options that close the sides.
- Awnings — cassette, traditional and window models, and why the fabric decides how it ages.
About us
- The workshop at La Gaude — who we are and how we work with installers.
- Customer reviews — all twelve Google reviews, translated in full.
- Ask for a quote — what to send us so we can price your project.
Technical articles
- Radio motors compared: RS 100, Oximo, Altus and CAME — torque ranges, io feedback, and why the RS 100 is the quiet one.
- Why choose a Somfy io motor — two-way radio, solar fitting without cabling, and when we suggest something simpler.
- Insect screens: the complete guide — matching the type to the opening, what makes a screen last, and the five mesh options.
Further technical articles are published in French on the French blog. If one of them would help you and you would rather read it in English, write to us at contact@rolheur.fr and we will translate it.
