Shutter specification for a Ardglass unit
Ardglass is a working harbour, half our quotes here are for cold-store roller shutters, not domestic garages. That shapes how we quote a security shutter job here.
Most of the commercial work we do around Ardglass lands inside harbour industrial and Killough Road workshops. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.
Ardglass sits 32 mi from Belfast and 33 mi from our Dromore yard via the A2.

- 1
Risk and compliance survey in Ardglass
We look at exposure, glazing, insurer requirements and, for fire shutters, the compartment line the shutter must protect.

Specify curtain and fixing
Lath type, box, guides and structural fixings specified to the opening and the risk, not to a catalogue.

Shutter questions from Ardglass businesses
Q.What is the difference between a security shutter and a fire shutter?
A security shutter resists forced entry. A fire shutter is a rated closure designed to hold a fire compartment for a specified period and is tested and certified as such. They are not interchangeable.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Ardglass where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.What happens after an attempted break-in?
We attend, secure the opening, then quote repair or curtain replacement. Damaged laths can often be swapped individually rather than replacing the whole curtain.
Q.Do you cover units around harbour industrial?
Yes, harbour industrial and the surrounding Ardglass commercial area are on our regular service routes.
Q.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Ardglass and the wider BT30 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
Q.Will an insurer accept the shutter we fit?
Bring us the wording. We specify the curtain, guides and locking to the level the policy names, which is usually where a cheap shutter falls short.
