What to know about aluminium roller shutters in Forfar
Aluminium is the usual choice for domestic shutters and garage roller doors. A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last.
For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour.
Features to choose from
- Smaller shutter box than steel
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Solid, perforated or vision laths
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
- Powder coated to a RAL colour
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Forfar?
Yes. Forfar (DD8) is within our Dundee & Angus coverage, along with nearby Arbroath and Montrose.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
