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 laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light.

Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal. 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
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths

Covering Kent

We cover Kent from Maidstone to Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells, with 23 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.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions

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.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

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.
