Most Glenorie properties sit on acreage with mature trees close to the house, and that changes what goes wrong with a roller shutter. Leaf litter and stringybark find their way into headboxes here far more often than on a suburban block, and a curtain that rolls up through a bed of debris wears out its guides years early.
We cover the whole of Glenorie in the 2157 postcode, including the properties strung along Old Northern Road and the rural lanes running off it. Annangrove, Middle Dural, Dural, Arcadia and the Maroota end are all on the same run, so a boundary address makes no difference to us.
Housing in Glenorie ranges from older brick homes on large blocks through to newer builds set well back from the road. What they have in common is exposure. There is very little shelter from wind on an open rural block, and a great deal of tree litter on the wooded ones.
Glenorie is bushfire prone country, and plenty of residents here fitted shutters with ember protection in mind as much as security. If yours has not been cycled since last summer, test it before the season turns. A shutter that will not come down when you need it is doing nothing for you, and the faults that stop one closing are usually minor and easily sorted well before November.
