What is worth knowing before you start?
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
Do you work on any make?
Most commercial shutters and door gear. We will tell you straight away if parts are no longer available.
Will this need planning permission in Swansea?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from City and County of Swansea Council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent, and rules are set by the Welsh Government.
