How home security shutters work, and what to ask for
The box can sit on the face of the wall, inside the window reveal, or be built in during an extension or new build. Shutters protect glazing from storm debris and reduce noise from busy roads. Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices.
Closed shutters add a layer of insulation and can block nearly all daylight, which helps bedrooms and media rooms. Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area.
Specification options
- Wall switch, remote, timer or app control
- Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
- Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
- Colours matched to window frames
- Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
- Blackout and added insulation when closed

Covering Lanarkshire
We cover Lanarkshire from East Kilbride to Hamilton, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge, with 9 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
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.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.
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 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 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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
