Questions about perforated roller shutters in Peterhead
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.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
Is the survey free in Peterhead?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Peterhead are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Peterhead?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your council first.
