What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Forest Gate?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so London Borough of Newham 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 Forest Gate?
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.
How soon can you fit a vision roller shutter in Forest Gate?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Forest Gate?
An external shutter usually needs it, and London Borough of Newham decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
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.
