Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Edinburgh & the Lothians

Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. 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.

Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets. Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top.

Options we can specify

  • Insulated steel options
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors

Covering Edinburgh & the Lothians

We cover Edinburgh & the Lothians from Edinburgh to Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate, 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.

Questions about steel roller shutters in Edinburgh & the Lothians

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
