What happens across Greater Glasgow?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock and Bearsden are among the places we cover. Councils here include Glasgow City, Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire. Tenement ground floors run across Glasgow and Paisley, often as long rows of units under flats, and town centres line the Clyde.
What makes the difference?
Does a shutter need planning permission?
An external shutter usually does. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. An internal grille or shutter is usually the safer route, so we can advise what to check before you order.
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.
Can the shutter match my frontage?
Yes. Curtain, box and guides are powder coated to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as the finish allows.
