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. A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal.
Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.
What's included
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks

Rules in England
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Cowes?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Cowes and the PO31 district, as part of our coverage across Isle of Wight.
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.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
