Aluminium Roller Shutters for Domestic and Commercial Applications
Aluminium roller shutters provide a lightweight, versatile security solution for smaller commercial and domestic openings. Designed to offer medium-level protection while maintaining a compact and discreet appearance, they are ideal where space, aesthetics and ease of operation are key considerations.
Manufactured using double-skinned extruded aluminium slats, aluminium roller shutters combine strength with reduced weight, allowing for smooth operation and compact housing when open. Suitable for window openings, pedestrian entrances and smaller doorways, they can be installed internally or externally with either face or reveal fixing to suit the building layout.

Applications and Typical Use Cases
Aluminium roller shutters are ideally suited to domestic and light commercial environments where a compact, lightweight and visually discreet security solution is required. Their reduced weight and smaller housing make them particularly suitable for openings where space is limited or where a less industrial appearance is preferred.
They are commonly used on shopfronts, windows, pedestrian doorways, garages and small commercial units, as well as residential properties requiring additional security. Aluminium roller shutters are suitable for both internal and external installations and are often specified where ease of operation, airflow and visibility are important considerations.
Benefits of Aluminium Roller Shutters Compared to Steel
Aluminium roller shutters offer several advantages over steel shutters in applications where heavy-duty security is not the primary requirement. Their lightweight construction places less strain on motors and moving components, resulting in smoother operation and reduced wear over time.
Because aluminium slats are lighter and more compact, aluminium roller shutters require smaller housings and guide channels, making them ideal for installations with limited headroom or tighter structural constraints. Aluminium is also naturally corrosion resistant, which makes these shutters well suited to domestic, coastal and light commercial environments where appearance and long-term durability are important. For applications requiring ventilation or visibility, aluminium shutters can also be configured with punched or perforated slats, offering greater flexibility than traditional solid steel systems.

Replacement or New Build Installations
Our aluminium roller shutters are suitable for both new build projects and replacement installations. In new developments, shutters can be specified to suit opening sizes, fixing methods and finish requirements, allowing them to integrate neatly into the overall building design while providing effective, unobtrusive security.
For replacement projects, aluminium roller shutters offer a practical upgrade from older or heavier systems. Their lightweight construction and compact housing often allow them to be installed within existing openings with minimal structural alteration. This makes them an ideal solution for refurbishments where improved appearance, smoother operation or reduced maintenance is required without significant disruption.
Finishes and Operation Options
Aluminium roller shutters are available with a range of finish options to suit both functional and aesthetic requirements. As standard, shutters are supplied in white, anthracite or black, with the option to powder coat in any RAL or BS colour for projects requiring a specific finish or to match existing building designs. The aluminium construction also offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for both internal and external installations.
In terms of operation, aluminium roller shutters can be supplied with either manual or electric control. Manual operation is achieved via a counterbalanced spring and lock system, providing a simple and reliable solution for smaller openings. Electric operation is available using a tubular motor, offering smooth, controlled movement and a choice of activation methods including rocker switches, key switches, remote controls or grouped operation where required.
Compact Design and Space Efficiency
Aluminium roller shutters are designed with space efficiency in mind, making them ideal for installations where headroom or side space is limited. Their lightweight slats allow the shutter curtain to roll into a compact housing, reducing the overall visual impact when open and helping to maintain clean, uncluttered elevations.
