What to know about steel roller shutters in Washington
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.
Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.
Specification options
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Powder coating available over galvanising
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Insulated steel options
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings

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 Washington
Do you cover Washington?
Yes. Washington (NE37) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Hebburn.
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.
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.
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.
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.
