What should you think about first?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.
Do you need consent in Musselburgh?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so East Lothian 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.

Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Musselburgh?
An external shutter usually needs it, and East Lothian Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.

Yes. We powder coat to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as we can.

Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
