Roller Shutter Doors
Roller shutter doors are practical, versatile, reliable and hard-wearing, able to withstand regular use and harsh weather conditions. They’re a popular choice and for good reason. They provide your business with instant security and access flexibility at a reasonable price, not to mention offer significant energy savings potential.
With a compact design, roller shutters are ideal where headroom may be limited above the structural opening. The shutters roll back smoothly behind the lintel requiring minimal space above or at the sides of the aperture. Roller shutter doors are suitable for many industrial applications including warehouses, factories and offices, and ranging in size from small units to full sized doors for larger premises such as factories and warehouses.
At PGE, we supply and install roller shutter doors from leading manufacturers and provide full ongoing maintenance and repair services. We are members of the DHF, demonstrating our commitment to the highest levels of technical expertise and professionalism.

Benefits of Roller Shutter Doors
Durability & Security
Constructed from sturdy aluminium or steel, roller shutter doors are built to withstand heavy daily use. Their robust construction provides an effective deterrent against unauthorised access and protects your premises and assets.
Flexible Operation
Available in manual or automatic configurations. For high-use doors, an electrical motor is strongly recommended - reducing wear on the mechanism and making operation effortless for staff throughout the working day.
Fire Safety Compliance
Fire-resistant roller shutter doors are available and can be integrated directly into your fire alarm system, closing automatically in the event of an alarm to contain fire and smoke and protect escape routes.
Versatility
A popular choice across a wide range of environments - from small commercial units and retail premises to large industrial warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Available in a wide range of sizes, slat profiles and finishes.
Types of Roller Shutter Door
There is a wide range of roller shutter doors available. To help you decide which is right for your business, here is a closer look at each type we supply and install.
Universal Roller Shutters
As the name suggests, these doors are suitable for a wide range of applications across the industrial sector. For a straightforward installation they're a great choice - competitively priced, easy to use and generally low maintenance.
All our universal roller shutter doors can be custom made to fit your specific site layout. Choose from a wide range of manually operated or powered doors (with or without a remote) and a variety of controls and finishes.
Insulated Roller Shutters
Insulated roller shutter doors keep buildings warm in winter - reducing heat loss and heating bills - and cool in summer, reducing air conditioning costs. They also help reduce noise entering your building.
Each lathe is individually insulated using a thick polystyrene-type material with a hard plastic moulding, sandwiched between galvanised steel - creating insulation properties far in excess of UK building regulations. Ideal for food preparation factories, refrigerated facilities and noise-sensitive environments.
- Temperature control
- Noise reduction
- Energy efficiency
- Draught reduction
Rapid Roll Doors
Rapid roll doors open and close faster than the average industrial door, making them ideal for sensitive environments and guaranteeing access when you need it without disruption to your business.
Our rapid roll doors can be easily sub-divided to provide a range of access options, letting you choose how much of the door needs to be open. They are also available with or without vision panels, which let in natural light and allow you to see into your industrial space without opening the door.
Fire Shutter Doors
When fire breaks out, your business and employees are at risk. Fire shutter doors minimise that risk - constructed from fire retardant materials, they can withstand fire, heat and smoke for a specific period of time, typically from 30 minutes to four hours.
Building regulations state that doors should provide the same fire resistance as the wall they are built into. Your fire shutters should always form part of a wider fire safety strategy including fire alarms and possibly a sprinkler system. All our fire shutter doors carry a fire rating indicating their resistance level.
- 30 min to 4 hour ratings
- Fire retardant materials
- Alarm system integration
- Protects escape routes
Drive Options
Most of our roller shutter doors are available in manual or automatic options. Manual doors come with a chain for operation; automatic doors are supplied with a direct drive or tube operated motor.
Direct drive motors are heavy duty and well suited to doors in regular use - efficient for larger doors up to 6,500mm wide and 6,500mm high. Tube operated motors are designed for intermittent use in compact environments and are suitable for openings up to 29m². In the event of a power failure, a manual hand crank is fitted as standard.
Typical Applications

CE Marking & DHF Compliance
Since July 2013, it has been a criminal offence to market certain products without the CE mark. All roller shutter doors we supply and install carry the required CE marking, confirming they have been manufactured to EU standards under the Construction Products Regulation 2011.
As members of the DHF - the trade association for companies associated with industrial doors, shutters, automated gates and building hardware - we are required to maintain full compliance. When you choose a CE marked product from PGE, you can be confident it has been rigorously checked against health, safety and environmental regulations.
What This Means for You
Maintenance & Repair
Keeping your roller shutter doors in top condition helps to prolong their operational life and avoid unexpected downtime. Following a significant financial outlay, a proactive maintenance programme is always the most cost-effective approach.
PGE offers planned preventative maintenance contracts as well as reactive repair services. Our engineers are experienced across a wide range of roller shutter door manufacturers and models, and we always aim to get your door back in operation as quickly as possible.
Planned Preventative Maintenance
Regular scheduled visits to inspect, lubricate and adjust your roller shutter doors - catching issues before they cause downtime.
Reactive Repairs
Fast response when something goes wrong. We know that having an access point out of action is less than ideal and always prioritise getting you back up and running.
Safety Inspections
Thorough safety checks to ensure your doors comply with current health and safety legislation and LOLER/PUWER requirements where applicable.
"We recently contacted PGE with regards to an industrial door that needed repair at our West London Volvo dealership. The door had stopped working which was causing us huge problems in getting vehicles in and out of the workshop. Whilst PGE had not originally installed the door they were more than happy to help. They responded promptly and within a matter of hours of making the call they arrived, identified the issue and speedily made the repair. This massively reduced the negative impact on the business and meant we quickly got back to being fully operational!"Chief Executive, Endeavour Automotive
