Frequently asked questions
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
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 Helensburgh?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
