Perforated roller shutters in Aberdeen & North East Scotland: questions
Are perforated shutters less secure?
They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Aberdeen & North East Scotland?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your council first.
Is the survey free in Aberdeen & North East Scotland?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Aberdeen & North East Scotland are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
