What should you check before you decide?
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.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.

Will this need planning permission in Harwich?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Tendring District 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.
