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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Westminster?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so City of Westminster 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.
What do people ask about insulated roller shutters in Westminster?
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Westminster?
An external shutter usually needs it, and City of Westminster decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
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 you cover the postcodes around Westminster?
Yes, including SW1 and W1.
Are insulated shutters more secure?
Not in themselves. Their benefit is heat and noise rather than strength.
