Solar shutters for properties in Lancaster
Whether your property is in the centre of Lancaster or on its edges, it is included in our Lancashire coverage. Neighbouring towns we cover include Morecambe (3 miles away), Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.
Lancaster is roughly 20 miles north of Preston.
Where a window in Lancaster has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
Each window in Lancaster is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

- Size limitBest on windows and standard doors; very large or heavy curtains use mains power.

Rules that apply in Lancaster
Lancaster is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Orientation: We check daylight on the panel at survey; heavily shaded openings may need a remote panel or mains power.
- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.
