How aluminium roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour. 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.
A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light.
Features to choose from
- 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
- Quieter running than steel

Covering Hertfordshire
We cover Hertfordshire from Watford to Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans, with 18 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.
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 homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Questions about aluminium roller shutters in Hertfordshire
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
