How aluminium roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Aluminium is the usual choice for domestic shutters and garage roller doors. Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light. Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller.
For higher-risk sites, extruded aluminium or galvanised steel is usually preferred to foam-filled laths. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.
Features to choose from
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
- Quieter running than steel
- Smaller shutter box than steel
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Powder coated to a RAL colour
- Solid, perforated or vision laths

Covering Surrey
We cover Surrey from Woking to Guildford, Esher and Redhill, with 19 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.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions
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.
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.
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.
