What is worth knowing?
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 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.
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
Will this need planning permission in Saffron Walden?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Uttlesford 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.

Do you cover the postcodes around Saffron Walden?

Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Saffron Walden?

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