How aluminium roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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. A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last.
Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.
Specification options
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
- Smaller shutter box than steel
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Solid, perforated or vision laths
- Manual or electric operation

Covering Isle of Wight
We cover Isle of Wight from Newport (Isle of Wight) to Ryde, Cowes and Sandown, with 4 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 Isle of Wight
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.
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.
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.
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.
