Choosing aluminium roller shutters for premises in Mid Glamorgan

A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last. For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. 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 laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour.

Options we can specify

  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Quieter running than steel
  • Manual or electric operation

Covering Mid Glamorgan

We cover Mid Glamorgan from Rhondda to Tonypandy, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil, with 8 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Wales

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

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 Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions

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.

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 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.

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.
