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. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light.

Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.

Options we can specify

  • Manual or electric operation
  • Smaller shutter box than steel
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • 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 Formby

Do you cover Formby?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Formby. We also cover nearby Maghull, Southport and Bootle.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
