Steel roller shutters in Folkestone: questions
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
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.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Folkestone?
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 local council first.
Is the survey free in Folkestone?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Folkestone are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
