Roller Shutter Doors

Roller Shutter Doors are constructed from rolled galvanised steel laths which can be solid steel, perforated or punched. They are easy to operate and extremely robust making them one of the most popular Industrial Doors on the market. They are able to withstand heavy usage and are typically used in Industrial premises such as warehouses, factories, distribution centres and industrial units. Each shutter is made to the customers requirements, custom built to fit any opening. They can be operated by either manual push up, chain operated or electrically operated 3 phase or single phase.  Should you not want the as standard galvanised finish, there are a vast number of plastisol colour coatings and powder coatings to choose from.
