Choosing security roller shutters for premises in County Down

Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks

Covering County Down

We cover County Down from Bangor (County Down) to Newtownards, Newry and Banbridge, with 5 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Northern Ireland, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

Security roller shutters: common questions

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.

How long does a roller shutter take to fit?

Most single shopfront shutters are fitted in a day once they have been made. Wider frontages, steel-framed openings or new power supplies can add time, and we confirm the installation day with your quote.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
