How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.
Specification options
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Key switch and remote operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Powder coating to match your shopfront

Shop front shutters: common questions
Do you cover Fort William?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Fort William. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.
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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
