How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.
Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.
Specification options
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Key switch and remote operation
- Manual override for power cuts
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Powder coating to match your shopfront

Rules in England

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.
Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?
In most cases yes. External shutters change the appearance of a shopfront, so councils usually require planning permission, and listed buildings also need listed building consent. Internal shutters often do not need planning permission but may still need consent on a listed building.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
