Aluminium roller shutters in Grampian: the essentials

Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible. Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller.

A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last. Aluminium is the usual choice for domestic shutters and garage roller doors.

Specification options

  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths

Covering Grampian

We cover Grampian from Aberdeen to Elgin, Peterhead and Fraserburgh, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions

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 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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

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.
