How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.
Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.
What's included
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Loughborough?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Loughborough and the LE11 district, as part of our coverage across Leicestershire.
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.
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 you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
