What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Whitefield?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Bury Metropolitan 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 Whitefield?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Whitefield?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Bury Metropolitan Borough Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
How soon can you fit a vision roller shutter in Whitefield?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
Vision or perforated: which shows more?
Vision shows more, as the slots are bigger. Perforated gives a softer view and a more solid look.
