How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Steel shutters are the usual base for fire-rated and many LPS 1175 rated shutters. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.
Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters. Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays.
What's included
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Steel roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Seaham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Seaham. We also cover nearby Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and Peterlee.
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.
Can a steel shutter have a door in it?
Yes, industrial steel shutters can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain.
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.
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.
