External & Security Shutters Northampton

External and security shutters offer a level of protection that indoor window dressings simply can't, fitted outside the window itself to guard against forced entry, storm damage and, for commercial premises, to secure the property outside trading hours. We install external and security shutters across Northampton and Milton Keynes.

Who External Shutters Suit

  • Homes wanting an additional layer of physical security beyond standard window locks

  • Commercial premises needing to secure shopfronts or windows outside opening hours

  • Properties in areas prone to storms, where shutters can protect glazing from debris and impact damage

  • Anyone wanting improved insulation and noise reduction alongside the security benefit

Types of External Shutter

  • Roller shutters, rolling up into a compact box above the window when not in use, common for both domestic and commercial applications

  • Solid or louvred hinged shutters, opening outward like traditional shutters but built for genuine security rather than decoration

  • Manual or electric operation, with electric systems offering convenience, particularly for larger commercial installations

What Installation Involves

  1. A survey to measure openings and discuss the level of security, material and operation method needed

  2. Fitting the shutter box, guides and mechanism securely to the wall or frame

  3. Fitting and testing electric operators where specified

  4. A final check of operation and security fixings before we finish
