Roller Shutter Doors

A roller shutter door is a curtain of interlocking horizontal slats, called laths, that coils around a barrel above the opening when the door is raised. Because the curtain rolls up into a compact coil instead of running back along the ceiling, it leaves the space inside the building free for racking, lighting and overhead cranes.

Roller Shutter Doors

A roller shutter door is a curtain of interlocking horizontal slats, called laths, that coils around a barrel above the opening when the door is raised. Because the curtain rolls up into a compact coil instead of running back along the ceiling, it leaves the space inside the building free for racking, lighting and overhead cranes.

Industrial Doors SW installs, repairs and maintains roller shutters for warehouses, workshops, agricultural buildings, garages and commercial units across Devon and the South West. We fit both single-skin steel shutters, where security and value matter most, and insulated shutters with foam-filled laths for buildings that need to hold their temperature.

When a roller shutter is the right choice

  • You need to keep the ceiling area inside the building clear
  • Security matters: steel laths are hard to force or cut through
  • The door opens and closes a few times a day rather than constantly
  • You want manual operation now with the option to motorise later
  • You are replacing an existing shutter in the same opening

Roller Shutter Doors: common questions

Should I choose an insulated or a single-skin roller shutter?

A single-skin steel shutter is the most economical and secure option for storage buildings, barns and workshops that are not heated. If the building is heated or chilled, an insulated shutter with foam-filled laths reduces heat loss and condensation, and can help a new or extended building meet Building Regulations requirements for thermal performance.

Can you repair a roller shutter that has been damaged by a vehicle?

Usually, yes. Damaged laths can often be replaced individually rather than renewing the whole curtain, and bent guide rails can be straightened or replaced. We will inspect the door and tell you whether a repair or a replacement is the better value.
