Choosing aluminium roller shutters for premises in Sunderland

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. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.

Options we can specify

  • Solid, perforated or vision laths
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Sunderland?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sunderland. We also cover nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.

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 warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out 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.
