What to know about aluminium roller shutters in Chester-le-Street
For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible.
Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages. A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last.
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
- Powder coated to a RAL colour
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites

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.

Before you book in Chester-le-Street
Do you cover Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Chester-le-Street (DH3) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
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.
What is the difference between roll-formed and extruded aluminium?
Roll-formed laths are two thin skins with a foam core, which is light and insulating. Extruded laths are solid profiles, which are heavier and much stronger.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
