What to check in Largs before ordering
Largs is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
- Ventilation: A closed shutter reduces airflow round trickle vents, so on rooms with gas appliances or poor ventilation we specify slotted laths or a part-open setting.
- Planning: Whether external shutters on a house need permission depends on the property and the council. Listed buildings need consent for external alterations, and conservation areas often bring tighter rules, so check before ordering. We provide drawings and product details for an application.
- Escape windows: If a shutter covers a window you would use to get out in a fire, it must open from inside without a key. We fit a manual override or battery backup on those openings.
