What should you check before you decide?
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.
Will this need planning permission across Cambridgeshire?
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.

Grille or shutter: which is better?
