Choosing manual roller shutters for premises in Consett

Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical.

Manual shutters can be converted to electric later if the curtain and box are in good condition. Push-up shutters use a tensioned spring in the barrel to balance the curtain, so a person can lift it with a pole or by hand.

Features to choose from

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
  • Spring-balanced push-up operation
  • No power supply or electrician needed
  • Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
  • Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Covering Consett and nearby

Jobs in Consett are planned as part of our County Durham coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Stanley, Chester-le-Street and Durham. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

Before you book in Consett

Do you cover Consett?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Consett. We also cover nearby Stanley, Chester-le-Street and Durham.

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.

Are manual shutters less secure than electric ones?

Not inherently. Security comes from the curtain, guides and locks. Manual shutters are secured with bottom-rail locks or padlocks, while electric shutters are held down by the motor and locks.

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.
