How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for
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. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.
A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.
Features to choose from
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation

Covering Dumfries & Galloway
We cover Dumfries & Galloway from Dumfries to Stranraer, Newton Stewart and Kirkcudbright, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
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.
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. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Your questions answered
Can a roller shutter be fitted inside the shop?
Yes. Internal shutters sit behind the glazing, which protects the stock and usually avoids external planning issues, although the glass itself is left exposed.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
