What to know about shop front shutters in Carlisle

Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.

Features to choose from

  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Carlisle?

Yes. Carlisle (CA1) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with the rest of Cumbria.

Can the shutter match my shopfront colour?

Yes. Shutters can be powder coated to a RAL colour, and the box and guides can be finished to match.

Can I keep my window display visible at night?

Yes. Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths, or an open roller grille, let the display show through while the shopfront is secured.

Which shutter is most likely to get planning approval?

Councils commonly prefer internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs, and boxes hidden behind the fascia. Solid external shutters are often refused in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
