Aluminium roller shutters in County Antrim: the essentials

Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour. Aluminium is the usual choice for domestic shutters and garage roller doors. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light.

Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.

Specification options

  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour

Covering County Antrim

We cover County Antrim from Belfast to Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Northern Ireland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Northern Ireland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

Questions about aluminium roller shutters in County Antrim

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.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
