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.
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
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 in Blackpool?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Blackpool Borough Council 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 vision roller shutters in Blackpool?
Do you cover the postcodes around Blackpool?
Yes, including FY1, FY3 and FY4.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Blackpool?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Blackpool Borough Council 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.
What is a punched-lath shutter?
A shutter with rows of slots cut through the laths, so you can see through it when it is down. Vision shutter is the common trade name.
