Choosing aluminium roller shutters for premises in Colchester

A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair aluminium roller shutters in Colchester and the CO1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
