Rules that apply in Scottish Borders
Across Scottish Borders, planning 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.

Perforated roller shutters in Scottish Borders: 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 Scottish Borders?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
