Aluminium roller shutters in Grays: the essentials

Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths. 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 curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller.

Features to choose from

  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • Quieter running than steel
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • 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.

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Grays

Do you cover Grays?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Grays. We also cover nearby South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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