What makes the difference?
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.
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.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
Do you need consent in Kirkwall?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from Orkney Islands Council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. 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 insulated roller shutters in Kirkwall?
How soon can you fit an insulated roller shutter in Kirkwall?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We agree the fitting day with you.
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 I need planning permission for a shutter in Kirkwall?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Orkney Islands Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
Do insulated shutters save energy?
They reduce draught through the opening, which helps most when there is no good glazing behind the shutter.
