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.
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.
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.

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 Musselburgh?
An external shutter usually needs it, and East Lothian 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.
