What is worth knowing?
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
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.
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.
