What to know about steel roller shutters in Darwen

Steel shutters are the usual base for fire-rated and many LPS 1175 rated shutters. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.

Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.

Specification options

  • Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Powder coating available over galvanising
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors

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 Darwen

Do you cover Darwen?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Darwen. We also cover nearby Blackburn, Accrington and Chorley.

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.

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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
