Choosing home security shutters for premises in Scottish Borders

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. The box can sit on the face of the wall, inside the window reveal, or be built in during an extension or new build.

Domestic shutters use slim double-skin aluminium laths filled with foam, which keeps them light and quiet. Shutters protect glazing from storm debris and reduce noise from busy roads.

What's included

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

Covering Scottish Borders

We cover Scottish Borders from Galashiels to Hawick and Peebles, with 3 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.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
