We’ve encountered many shutter clients who live in listed buildings, and they often ask if installing our shutters has implications.
The answer is a resounding no!
Installing shutters has no greater implication than hanging a picture on a wall or putting up a curtain pole.
Yes, there are fixings that we need to establish, but this is always done ‘invisibly’ (so that screw holes can’t be seen) and always with a sympathetic approach to the setting and with no compromise to any window frames, stonework or fittings within the property.
We recently dealt with a listed building officer in our Somerset area who was nervous about granting permission to our client, the owner of a converted 14th-century Mill and adjoining cottage.
Following a site meeting to explain our approach, we will show the frame sections we use and how the panels work.
Full approval was granted with no reservation, and we went on to complete another stunning installation.
