What can you expect across Tyne and Wear?
We work right across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Tyneside. Newcastle has Grainger Town, and Sunderland, Gateshead and coastal centres such as Whitley Bay and Tynemouth have their own high streets.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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 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.
