Aluminium roller shutters in Swanley: the essentials

Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths. Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller.

Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.

Specification options

  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Quieter running 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.

Questions about aluminium roller shutters in Swanley

Do you cover Swanley?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Swanley. We also cover nearby Bexley, Dartford and Welling.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
