What to check in Edinburgh before ordering
As a Scottish city, Edinburgh follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Edinburgh
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 you cover Edinburgh?
Yes. Edinburgh and the city's postcode districts are part of our coverage across Edinburgh & the Lothians.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Edinburgh?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
