Frequently asked questions
What colours can I have?
White, anthracite, black, cream, silver, brown and woodgrains as standard, plus RAL colours to order.
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 Colchester?
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.
