Home security shutters in South Glamorgan: the essentials
Smart controllers can link shutters to timers so the house looks occupied while you are away. Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area. 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. Shutters protect glazing from storm debris and reduce noise from busy roads.
Specification options
- Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
- Colours matched to window frames
- Wall switch, remote, timer or app control
- Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
- Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
- Patio and bi-fold door shutters

Rules in Wales
Shutters on a house: planning
In Wales permitted development rules for houses are set by the Welsh Government. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas need more care, 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 homes in Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.
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.

Questions about home security shutters in South Glamorgan
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out 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.
