Frequently asked questions
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 aluminium shutters fade?
Quality powder-coated and foiled finishes hold their colour well; darker colours in full sun can fade slowly over many years.
Is the survey free in Lancaster?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for aluminium roller shutters in Lancaster?
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.
