Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Consett?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Consett?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Consett confirms the specification and fixes the price.
