What to know about manual roller shutters in Belfast

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.

Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection. Regular cleaning of the guide rails keeps a manual curtain running smoothly and reduces the effort needed.

Specification options

  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • Solid or perforated curtains

Rules in Northern Ireland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Belfast?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Belfast. We also cover nearby Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Newtownards.

Can I add a motor later?

Yes, in many cases. If the curtain, barrel and box are in good order, a tube motor and key switch can be fitted. See our manual-to-electric conversion service.

Why is my manual shutter so heavy to lift?

Usually the spring in the barrel has lost tension or the guides need cleaning. A shutter engineer can re-tension the spring, which is far cheaper than replacing the shutter.

What is the widest manual shutter?

Push-up shutters work best up to about 3m wide. Wider or heavier curtains are normally fitted with a hand crank or a motor so they can be operated safely.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

What warranty do I get?

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