How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer.
A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.
Specification options
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Helensburgh?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Helensburgh and the G84 district, as part of our coverage across Argyll & Bute.
Will I need planning permission?
External shutters on commercial premises usually need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We flag this at survey so you can apply before the shutter is ordered.
Do electric shutters still work in a power cut?
Electric shutters are fitted with a manual override, usually a hand crank or a release, so the shutter can be opened or closed without power.
Should I choose aluminium or steel?
Aluminium is lighter, quieter and resists corrosion, so it suits most shops and offices. Galvanised steel is heavier and harder to cut through, so it is often chosen for industrial units and higher-risk premises.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
