A continuous steel or aluminium curtain with no openings and no weak points — the strongest shutter we make, chosen by jewellers, off-licences and pharmacies. From £1,500 supplied and fitted.
When the priority is stopping someone getting in — not showing what’s inside — a solid roller shutter is the answer. The curtain is a continuous wall of interlocking steel or aluminium laths with no holes, no gaps and no weak points, which is why jewellers, off-licences, pharmacies storing controlled stock and shops on quiet parades choose it over every other type.
We supply and fit solid shutters from £1,500. Prices may differ slightly or increase depending on exact size and design requirements.
Every opening in a shutter curtain is a place to attack it. A solid lath has none. The curtain presents a flat, continuous metal face that resists cutting, levering and impact far better than any vision shutter — and because passers-by can’t see your stock, it also removes the temptation that starts most smash-and-grab attempts.
Fitted with heavy-duty guides and bullet locks (or motor locking on electric models), a solid shutter turns your frontage into the least attractive target on the street.
We make solid curtains in both. Galvanised steel is the default for security — heavier, tougher, and the right choice for high-risk premises. Aluminium curtains are roughly a third lighter, kinder to motors on wide openings, and naturally corrosion-resistant — often the better engineering choice above ~5 metres or on exposed frontages. Both are powder-coated to any RAL colour so the shutter matches your shop front rather than fighting it.
Off-licences and convenience stores on residential parades; pharmacies with controlled-drug storage requirements; jewellers and pawnbrokers where insurers demand solid protection; storage units, workshops and rear service doors — and any shop that’s been broken into once and doesn’t intend to repeat the experience. For clients including Tesco, Lidl and Costa we’ve fitted shutters where the brief was simple: “make it not happen again.”
Many insurers reduce premiums — or only offer cover at all — when a solid security shutter protects the frontage. Some specify security ratings such as LPS 1175 for high-risk stock. Tell us what your policy requires and we’ll spec the curtain, guides and locking to match, in writing, so you can send it straight to your insurer.
A solid shutter hides your window display completely. If your street has healthy evening footfall, that’s revenue you’re giving up: a perforated shutter (same £1,500 starting price) keeps a lit display readable, and a punched-hole shutter gives partial vision with near-solid strength.
If you mainly need to stop hands rather than hide stock — arcades, shopping-centre units — look at rolling grilles. Our roller shutters guide compares all four honestly.
Manual push-up with bullet locks suits smaller solid shutters; anything wide, heavy or used daily should be electric — solid curtains are the heaviest we make, and a tubular motor spares your back and your lath alignment. Installation is typically one day after a 7–10 day manufacture window. An annual service keeps the extra weight running true; if a solid shutter ever jams shut with your shop inside it, our 24/7 emergency repair team opens it.
