What can you expect in Rutherglen?
A frontage in Rutherglen has to suit the street as well as the shop. South Lanarkshire Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What should you check before you decide?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
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.
