Frequently asked questions
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder-coating adds another layer. Scratches and coastal air speed up corrosion, so regular cleaning helps.
Is the survey free in Elgin?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Elgin are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Elgin?
Possibly. New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. We recommend checking with your council first.
