How home security shutters work, and what to ask for
Patio and bi-fold doors can be covered by a single wide shutter, protecting the largest area of glass. Domestic shutters use slim double-skin aluminium laths filled with foam, which keeps them light and quiet.
Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly. Electric operation with a wall switch, remote or timer makes it easy to close every shutter in the house at once.
Features to choose from
- Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
- Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
- Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
- Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
- Patio and bi-fold door shutters
- Colours matched to window frames

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Home security shutters: common questions
Do you cover Exeter?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair home security shutters in Exeter and the EX2 district, as part of our coverage across Devon.
Can shutters be added to an existing window?
Yes. Most domestic shutters are retrofitted with a box on the face of the wall or in the reveal, so the window does not need to be replaced.
Do I need planning permission for shutters on my house?
It depends on the property. Houses in England often have permitted development rights for minor changes, but flats do not, and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas add restrictions. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We flag it at survey; your council has the final say.
Will shutters stop me escaping in a fire?
They must not. Shutters on bedroom or escape windows are fitted with a manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly, and we discuss escape routes at survey.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
