Frequently asked questions
Do aluminium shutters fade?
Quality powder-coated and foiled finishes hold their colour well; darker colours in full sun can fade slowly over many years.
Are aluminium shutters strong enough for a shop?
Extruded aluminium shutters are very robust and suit many shops; very wide or high-risk openings may still be better in steel.
Do I need permission for aluminium roller shutters in Durham?
New external shutters on shopfronts usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need consent. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Durham?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Durham are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
