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. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.
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
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Key switch and remote operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- 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.

Before you book in Chichester
Do you cover Chichester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chichester. We also cover nearby Bognor Regis, Havant and Littlehampton.
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.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
