How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.
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.
Specification options
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Key switch and remote operation
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance

Rules in England

Your questions answered
Do you cover Barnstaple?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Barnstaple and the EX31 district, as part of our coverage across Devon.
Will a shutter lower my insurance premium?
It can help, and some insurers require a shutter for certain trades. Check your policy schedule for any stated standard before you order so the shutter meets it.
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 I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
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.
