How aluminium roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light.

Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller. Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour.

Features to choose from

  • 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
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Smaller shutter box 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 Hythe?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair aluminium roller shutters in Hythe and the SO45 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.

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.

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.

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.
