Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Houghton-le-Spring

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.

Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters.

Options we can specify

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

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 Houghton-le-Spring

Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Houghton-le-Spring. We also cover nearby Chester-le-Street, Washington and Seaham.

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 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.

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.

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.
