We aim to keep lead times as efficient as possible for the Compact Aluminium Roller Shutter. Typical manufacturing time is 7–10 working days, with delivery usually arranged within a few days of completion. Please note, non-standard or custom colours may extend lead times to approximately 5 weeks, depending on powder coating requirements. This makes the compact aluminium shutter a strong option for projects with defined timelines.

For supply and installation projects, the full process typically takes 3–4 weeks. This includes an initial site survey to confirm sizes and requirements, followed by manufacture and scheduling of installation. While this shutter is more robust than lightweight systems, it can still be suitable for supply only installation in the right circumstances. Our team will provide guidance to ensure accurate measurements and a smooth installation process.

The Compact Aluminium Roller Shutter is a mid to high-range security solution, designed for shopfronts, commercial premises, and applications where strength, durability, and appearance are key priorities.
