What can you expect in Edinburgh?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Edinburgh, the job is measured the same way, and City of Edinburgh Council is the council to check with.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
What are the guide prices?

Probably, if it is external. City of Edinburgh Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
