Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Cumbernauld starts with which of those matters most to you.
Each window in Cumbernauld is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

What to check in Cumbernauld before ordering
In Cumbernauld, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
- 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.
- 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.
