Aluminium roller shutters in St Albans: the essentials
Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light.
For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.
Options we can specify
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
- Solid, perforated or vision laths
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
- Quieter running than steel
- Manual or electric operation

Rules in England
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover St Albans?
Yes. St Albans (AL1) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Harpenden, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead.
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.
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.
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.
