What to know about steel roller shutters in Colchester

Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds. Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes.

Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.

What's included

  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors
  • Insulated steel options
  • Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin

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.

Questions about steel roller shutters in Colchester

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Colchester. We also cover nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

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 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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
