Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Barnstaple
Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. A tubular motor sits inside the barrel on most shop and domestic shutters, while larger doors use a direct-drive or chain motor on the end plate.
Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

Rules in England
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.
