Aluminium roller shutters in South Glamorgan: the essentials
Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal. Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.
Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour. For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths.
Specification options
- Quieter running than steel
- Smaller shutter box than steel
- Solid, perforated or vision laths
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
- Manual or electric operation

Covering South Glamorgan
We cover South Glamorgan from Cardiff to Barry and Penarth, with 3 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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
