How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters. 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. Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises.

Specification options

  • Powder coating available over galvanising
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
  • Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Insulated steel options
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes

Covering Grampian

We cover Grampian from Aberdeen to Elgin, Peterhead and Fraserburgh, 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.

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.

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.

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 your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
