How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

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.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Herne Bay?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Herne Bay. We also cover nearby Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
