How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

Domestic shutters use slim double-skin aluminium laths filled with foam, which keeps them light and quiet. Electric operation with a wall switch, remote or timer makes it easy to close every shutter in the house at once.

Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area. Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices.

Features to choose from

  • Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
  • Patio and bi-fold door shutters
  • Blackout and added insulation when closed
  • Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
  • Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
  • Wall switch, remote, timer or app control

Rules in Scotland

Shutters on a house: planning

In Scotland permitted development rules for houses are set by the Scottish Government. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas restrict external changes, so check with your council before ordering if any of these apply.

How it works

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about home security shutters in Kirkwall

Do you cover Kirkwall?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Kirkwall. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.

How noisy are electric home shutters?

Domestic tube motors are quiet, and foam-filled laths reduce rattle, so shutters can be used in bedrooms without disturbing anyone.

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.

Do home shutters help with heating bills?

Closed shutters add an insulating layer over the glass and reduce draughts, which helps keep heat in at night. The effect depends on the windows you already have.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
