What happens in Houghton-le-Spring?
A frontage in Houghton-le-Spring has to suit the street as well as the shop. Sunderland City Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
