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. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

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

Options we can specify

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Manual override for power cuts

Covering Fife

We cover Fife from Dunfermline to Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, 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

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

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.

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions

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.

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 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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

What warranty do I get?

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