We aim to keep lead times as efficient as possible for the RA2 Lightweight 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 colours may increase lead times to approximately 5 weeks, depending on powder coating requirements. For supply-only orders, this still offers a relatively quick turnaround, making it a popular choice for time-sensitive projects.

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 the installation. The RA2 shutter is straightforward to install, making it well-suited to supply only or DIY installation, provided accurate measurements are taken. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure everything is prepared correctly before installation day.

The RA2 Lightweight Aluminium Roller Shutter is one of the most cost-effective shutter options, making it ideal for internal openings, kiosks, counters, and low risk external use.
