Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Stornoway
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.
A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.
Features to choose from
- Manual override for power cuts
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Key switch and remote operation
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal

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.

Before you book in Stornoway
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Stornoway and the HS1 district, as part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.
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.
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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
