What should you think about first?
Will the colours really match?
Frame and shutter are powder coated to the same RAL reference. Coating on different materials can vary slightly, which we will show you on samples first.
Why plan the frontage and shutter together?
Because the shutter box needs a home. Plan it with the fascia and it disappears. Add it later and it usually ends up on the face of the building.
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.
Will this need planning permission across Northamptonshire?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your council will normally expect a planning application. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

Can you fit a package around my trading hours across Northamptonshire?
Yes. Closed-day or out-of-hours fitting can be arranged.
How long does a package take across Northamptonshire?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
Can an engineer still reach a hidden shutter?
Yes, if it is designed properly. We fit a removable panel, because safety parts have to be reachable for servicing.
