How aluminium roller shutters work, and what to ask for
For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.
Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible.
What's included
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
- Manual or electric operation
- Smaller shutter box than steel
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Solid, perforated or vision laths
- Quieter running than steel

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.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Romford?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair aluminium roller shutters in Romford and the RM1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
