How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds.
Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.
Options we can specify
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Insulated steel options
- 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 Gateshead?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gateshead. We also cover nearby Wallsend, Hebburn and Jarrow.
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 steel shutters noisy?
Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium. If noise matters, insulated double-skin laths and a well-adjusted motor help.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
