What to know about aluminium roller shutters in Bedford

For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal.

Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.

Specification options

  • Manual or electric operation
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Bedford

Do you cover Bedford?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bedford. We also cover nearby Ampthill, St Neots and Rushden.

Is aluminium strong enough for a shop?

For most shops and offices, yes, especially extruded aluminium laths. For high-risk premises, galvanised steel or a rated shutter may be recommended.

Will an aluminium shutter dent?

Foam-filled laths can dent under a heavy impact. Extruded aluminium resists denting far better, and damaged laths can be replaced individually.

Do aluminium shutters corrode by the sea?

Aluminium does not rust like steel, and a powder-coated finish adds protection, which makes it a good choice for coastal frontages.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
