Where a window in Lisburn has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.

Rules that apply in Lisburn
In Lisburn, planning follows the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 and the NI permitted development rules.
- 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.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.
- 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.

Questions about window roller shutters in Lisburn
Can I fit shutters to just some windows?
Yes. Many people start with ground-floor windows facing the street or the bedrooms they want dark, and add more later in a matching finish.
What happens in a power cut?
Mains motors stop where they are until power returns. If a window is needed for escape we fit a manual override or a battery-backed motor so it can still be opened.
Is the survey free in Lisburn?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Lisburn are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
