What is worth knowing?
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
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.
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
Will this need planning permission across County Antrim?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from your council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
