Frequently asked questions
Can I get insulated shutters for a shop or unit?
Yes. Insulated commercial and industrial doors are available in larger sizes with deeper laths and better seals.
Do roller shutters really insulate?
Insulated shutters reduce heat loss when they are closed, mainly at night, and stop solar heat in summer. They complement good windows rather than replace them.
Is the survey free in Peterlee?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Peterlee are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for insulated roller shutters & doors in Peterlee?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
