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 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.

What's included

  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs

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 Whitstable

Do you cover Whitstable?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Whitstable. We also cover nearby Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham.

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 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.

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.
