What makes the difference?
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
Do you need consent in Inverness?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Highland Council will normally expect a planning application. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about electric roller shutters in Inverness?
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Inverness?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Highland Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
Do you cover the postcodes around Inverness?
Yes, including IV1, IV3 and IV2.
Can you match the shutter to my shopfront?
Yes. We powder coat to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as we can.
Do electric shutters work in a power cut?
Yes, by hand, if a manual override is fitted. We specify one on new electric shutters.
