- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.

Frequently asked 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.
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 Inverness?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Inverness?
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.
