Frequently asked questions
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 steel or aluminium better?
Steel is stronger for the money and suits big openings; aluminium is lighter, corrosion-resistant and neater, and suits homes, shops and coastal sites.
Is the survey free in Ilford?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Ilford are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
