Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Chelmsford

Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.

Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top.

Options we can specify

  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Insulated steel options
  • Powder coating available over galvanising

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Chelmsford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair steel roller shutters in Chelmsford and the CM1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
