Choosing aluminium roller shutters for premises in Durham

Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal. A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last.

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

What's included

  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • Quieter running than steel

Rules in England

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.

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.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. Durham (DH1) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
