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.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Newcastle upon Tyne confirms the specification and fixes the price.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Newcastle upon Tyne?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
