How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.

Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters.

Options we can specify

  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Powder coating available over galvanising

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.

Steel roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Stowmarket?

Yes. Stowmarket (IP14) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury and Thetford.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

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.
