What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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 across County Durham?
Usually not for internal work, although listed buildings can need consent even inside. Your council can confirm. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
