Aluminium roller shutters in Darlington: the essentials

Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.

For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.

Options we can specify

  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • Quieter running than steel
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs

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

  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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Darlington?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Darlington. We also cover nearby Newton Aycliffe, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees.

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.

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.

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 warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
