Choosing aluminium roller shutters for premises in Lancashire
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. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.
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.
Specification options
- Smaller shutter box than steel
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Quieter running than steel
- Powder coated to a RAL colour
- Solid, perforated or vision laths
- Manual or electric operation

Covering Lancashire
We cover Lancashire from Preston to Burnley, Blackburn and Blackpool, with 18 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.

Before you book in Lancashire
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.
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.
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 the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
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.
