How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.
Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour. Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds.
Options we can specify
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Powder coating available over galvanising

Rules in England

Steel roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Bishop Auckland?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bishop Auckland. We also cover nearby Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Chester-le-Street.
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder coating adds a further layer. Scratches and damage should be touched up so moisture cannot reach bare metal.
Are steel shutters noisy?
Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium. If noise matters, insulated double-skin laths and a well-adjusted motor help.
Is steel more secure than aluminium?
Generally yes. Steel laths are harder to cut and dent, which is why steel is used for industrial and higher-risk premises. For independently tested resistance, look for an LPS 1175 rating.
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 your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
