How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. 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. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Options we can specify

  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks

Rules in England

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Bishop's Stortford?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bishop's Stortford. We also cover nearby Harlow, Hoddesdon and Hertford.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
