Roller garage doors in Alicante

We make and install roller doors and roller shutters with steel or aluminium slats for low-headroom garages, shops and warehouses. The door rolls up onto a shaft above the opening, so it takes up no ceiling or side space and doesn't stick out into the street.

What it involves

A roller door is made of horizontal slats hooked together that, as it opens, wind onto a shaft fitted above the opening. The slats rise along two side guides and the roll is housed in a box, outside or inside, so the door takes up neither the ceiling nor the floor of the garage and doesn't encroach on the pavement.

We make it with steel slats, which are more resistant to knocks and attempts to force them, or aluminium slats, which are lighter and have no rust problems by the sea. The slats can be solid, micro-perforated so the shop window can be seen when the shop is closed, or slotted for ventilation in garages and warehouses that need fresh air. It can be manual, with springs that counterbalance the weight, or motorised.

It is the usual solution for shops, bars, kiosks and street-level warehouses, and for home garages where headroom is short. We measure it, choose with you the slat and box that best suit your façade and the way you will use it, and make it to measure. We leave it up and running, with the box accessible so it is easy to service.

Roller garage doors: jobs we do

These are the jobs we are asked for most. If yours looks like one of them, call us and we will tell you how we would handle it.

Roller garage door for low headroom

In many garages in older blocks and terraced houses, the opening reaches almost to the ceiling and there is no room for a sectional door's tracks or for an up-and-over door to swing. A roller door solves it: the roll of slats sits in a compact box and, if there is no space inside, we fit it outside, on the façade. We calculate the roll diameter from the height of your door and choose the thinnest slat that will do the job, so the box is as small as possible and you lose as little clearance height as possible. It is the door that makes the best use of an opening with little room above.

Metal roller shutter for shops

It is the classic shutter on shops, street-level offices and local businesses, and it is still the most practical: it takes up little space, protects the shop window and the door at the same time and opens and closes quickly. We make it to fit your shopfront, with steel or aluminium slats, guides anchored to the façade and an external box or one recessed into the false ceiling. It can be manual, with a floor lock, or motorised, and with solid or micro-perforated slats so the window display can be seen when the shop is closed. We plan the installation so your shop loses as little opening time as possible.

Aluminium roller door

Aluminium weighs less than steel and doesn't rust the way steel does, which is why it is the slat we recommend for garages and shops near the sea, at Playa de San Juan, El Campello or Santa Pola. Because it is lighter, the door moves with less effort, the motor works more easily and the roll takes up slightly less space. Foam-filled aluminium slats also deaden the noise as the door comes down. It is a good option for home garages and for shops with medium-width fronts; for very wide openings or where security comes first, we usually choose steel.

Steel roller shutter door

Galvanised steel slats are the most resistant to knocks and attempts to force the door, and they cope well with wide openings and heavy use. It is the slat we usually fit in warehouses, shops with valuable stock and garages on quiet streets. It is lacquered to protect it from damp, with reinforced guides and a lock, or with a motor and a brake on the shaft. It weighs more than aluminium, so we size the shaft, springs or motor so it rises without strain. If the premises are very close to the sea, we explain what care it needs so the salt air doesn't attack it.

Micro-perforated roller shutter for shop windows

Micro-perforated slats have small holes that let you see inside and let light through even when the shutter is down. That way the shop window keeps working at night and on public holidays, and the street isn't lined with blank shutters that give a sense of neglect. The slat is still metal and protects the glass from knocks. It suits clothes shops, opticians, jewellers, bookshops and any business that relies on its window display. We can also combine solid slats at the bottom, which give more protection, with a micro-perforated section at eye level.

More jobs in this service

  • Solid roller door

    Solid slats form a closed surface, with no gaps, that stops anyone seeing inside and keeps out light, dust and rain. It is the option for home garages, warehouses and premises where privacy and protection from the weather come first.

  • Roller door with ventilation slats

    We insert slats with slots or punched openings that let air circulate with the door closed. It is the solution for garages with no other ventilation, warehouses with goods that need air and rooms where heat builds up in summer, without giving up a strong door.

  • Roller door with an external box

    When there is no room inside, we fit the roll in a box on the façade, above the opening. That way you lose no clearance height and the mechanism is within easy reach for servicing. We make it in lacquered aluminium, with an access cover and well sealed against rain.

  • Roller door with an internal box

    If you prefer a clean façade, the roll goes inside, behind the lintel or recessed into the false ceiling of the premises. From outside, only the guides and slats are visible, and we leave an access hatch so servicing the shaft doesn't mean breaking anything.

  • Roller door for a shop stockroom or storage unit

    Many shops have their stockroom in a nearby ground-floor unit, and many families have a storeroom at street level. A steel roller door with a floor lock protects the stock or stored furniture, opens all at once for loading and takes up none of the usable space.

  • Grille or tube roller shutter for shops

    Instead of slats, the shutter is made of metal tubes or links that let you see almost the whole interior. It is used in shops in shopping arcades and passages and by businesses that want to show off their goods with the shutter down, while keeping a solid barrier against break-ins.

  • Roller shutter for a counter, serving hatch or market stall

    For service hatches, bars that open onto the street and market stalls, we make small, light roller shutters, usually aluminium and manually operated, that lift with one hand and close with a padlock or lock.

  • Roller shutter for a beach bar or kiosk

    Next to the sand, salt, wind and sun punish any shutter. For beach bars, kiosks and beach huts we make aluminium slat shutters, with corrosion-resistant guides and screws, that roll up into a compact box and lock with a key every night.

  • Manual roller door with balanced springs

    If you don't want a motor, a manual roller door has springs on the shaft that counterbalance the weight of the slats. You lift it by pulling the handle with little effort, it stays up without dropping and you secure it with a floor lock when you leave.

  • Roller shutter with a removable centre post for wide openings

    When the shopfront is very wide, we split the shutter into two that rest on a central post. In the morning you remove the post and the opening is clear from side to side; at night you slot it back in and lower both shutters.

  • Roller door to enclose a porch or open carport

    If you park under a porch or in a carport with no door, we enclose it with a roller door hung from the beam or slab, with an external box and guides anchored to the pillars. You gain an enclosed garage without building work and without losing space under the roof.

  • Roller shutter for a bar or restaurant

    In bars and restaurants the front is usually a wide glass frontage opening onto the terrace, and the shutter comes down every day at closing time. We make the shutter to fit that front, with strong slats, firmly anchored guides and a balanced shaft so lowering it every night takes no effort.

What you get with us

  • Takes up no ceiling or side space

    The whole mechanism is in the roll and two narrow guides, so the garage or shop keeps its ceiling free, its walls clear and the pavement unobstructed.

  • Resistant to break-ins

    Well-guided steel slats and a floor lock, or a motor with a brake, make it hard to lift the door from outside, which is key for premises left closed at night.

  • Made to measure at factory prices

    We make it ourselves to the measurements of your opening, at factory-direct prices, with no middlemen pushing up the price and no adapting of a catalogue model.

  • Written warranty and our own team

    We give you a written 3-year warranty on the door and 5 years on the motor, and it is installed by our own team, with no subcontractors.

How we do it, step by step

  1. Visit and measurement

    We measure the opening, the headroom and the space for the roll, and see whether the box will go inside or outside and which slat suits you best.

  2. Free quote within 24 hours

    We send you a free quote with the type of slat, the box and manual or motorised operation. If it suits you, you can pay for it with interest-free finance.

  3. Made in our workshop

    We make the slats, shaft and guides to measure, and balance the springs or choose the motor according to the real weight of the door.

  4. Installed in one day

    We anchor the guides and box, fit the roll and leave it working in one day, so your garage or shop can be locked up again that same night.

  5. Testing and handover

    We test full opening, adjust the limit switches, give you the keys or remote controls and explain how to open it by hand if the power goes off.

Roller garage doors in Alicante province

In Alicante and Elche the roller door is the door of street-level premises: shops in the centre, neighbourhood bars, market stalls and ground-floor units used as warehouses. In Elche, with so many small businesses linked to the footwear industry, there are plenty of ground-floor units working as warehouses or showrooms that need a strong shutter that opens all at once for loading and unloading. It is also common in garages in older blocks and terraced houses, where headroom is so short that no other door will fit.

On the coast, from Playa de San Juan and El Campello down to Santa Pola and Los Arenales del Sol, salt air and damp quickly rust unprotected steel slats, which is why we recommend aluminium and well-sealed boxes there. The heavy gota fría rains put external boxes to the test, so we take care over their sealing and make sure water doesn't sit in the guides. And with the summer sun, the slats on a south-facing façade get very hot, so we balance the shaft carefully and leave just the right play in the guides so the door doesn't jam.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most about roller garage doors.

Roller garage doors: your questions

How much headroom does a roller door need?

It depends mainly on the height of the door, because the taller it is, the more slats are rolled up and the thicker the roll, and also on the type of slat. If there isn't enough headroom, the box can go outside, on the façade, or below the lintel, giving up a little clearance height. During the visit we measure it and tell you which option makes the best use of your opening.

Am I better off with aluminium or steel slats?

Aluminium is lighter, doesn't rust the way steel does and is the best option on the seafront and in many home garages. Steel is more resistant to knocks and attempts to force the door, and copes better with very wide openings, which is why it is chosen for warehouses and premises with valuable stock. If you are unsure, during the visit we show you both slats and explain the differences.

Are metal roller shutters very noisy?

A badly adjusted shutter is, but it doesn't have to be. We fit guides with seals that prevent metal rubbing on metal, balance the shaft so the slats don't bang as they come down and, if it is motorised, set the limit switches carefully. With regular greasing of the guides and shaft, the door stays quiet, something the neighbours living above the shop will appreciate.

What safety features does a roller door have?

Our doors comply with UNE-EN 13241-1. On motorised roller doors we fit a safety brake on the shaft that locks the door if the drive fails, photocells or a safety edge so it stops when there is an obstacle, and a release so it can be operated by hand. On manual doors, the balanced springs stop the door from dropping suddenly when you let go.

Does a roller door keep out the heat?

A single-skin steel slat insulates very little. Foam-filled aluminium slats perform somewhat better against heat and noise, and good seals on the guides and floor cut down draughts. If your priority is a cool garage because it connects to the house, we will also explain the option of a sandwich-panel sectional door, which insulates much better.
