Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Forth Valley
Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds. Steel shutters are the usual base for fire-rated and many LPS 1175 rated shutters. Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises.
Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top. Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain.
Options we can specify
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Powder coating available over galvanising

Covering Forth Valley
We cover Forth Valley from Stirling to Falkirk and Alloa, with 3 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.

Steel roller shutters: common questions
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
What details help you quote quickly?
