How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.
Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises.
Options we can specify
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Insulated steel options
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Powder coating available over galvanising

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Livingston?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair steel roller shutters in Livingston and the EH54 district, as part of our coverage across 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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
