Steel roller shutters in Stornoway: questions
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.
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Stornoway?
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.
