Steel Doors & Roller Shutters Shot Blasting

Professional Restoration for Industrial Doors & Security Shutters

About This Service

Our steel doors and roller shutters shot blasting service provides comprehensive restoration for industrial doors, warehouse roller shutters, security doors, and commercial access systems. We remove rust, old paint, and corrosion from large-format doors, roller shutter slats, and door frames, preparing them for protective coatings. Whether you're refurbishing warehouse loading bay doors, restoring security shutters, or maintaining industrial access systems, our precision techniques ensure optimal surface preparation for long-lasting protection and smooth operation.

Warehouse Roller Shutter Restoration

Complete transformation of industrial loading bay roller shutters from heavily contaminated surfaces to clean, uniform bare metal ready for protective coating.

Case Studies

Warehouse Roller Shutter Restoration

Warehouse Roller Shutter Restoration

Industrial Distribution Center

Challenge: A large warehouse facility had multiple loading bay roller shutters with severe surface contamination, rust staining, and paint degradation. The shutters were operational but visually deteriorated, and the contamination was accelerating corrosion. The client required complete restoration to extend service life and improve facility appearance without replacing the functional shutter systems.
Solution: We systematically shot blasted all roller shutter slats, door frames, and mounting hardware to remove decades of industrial contamination, rust, and failed coatings. The work was phased to maintain operational access to the loading bays. Each shutter was processed individually, with careful attention to preserving the slat profiles and mechanism mounting points. The bare metal surface was prepared to commercial coating standards.
Result: The warehouse roller shutters were transformed from heavily contaminated industrial doors to clean, uniform surfaces ready for protective coating. All rust and corrosion were completely removed, revealing sound structural steel. The client achieved a professional finish at a fraction of the cost of shutter replacement, with the restored doors expected to provide decades more service. The phased approach ensured minimal disruption to warehouse operations throughout the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, yes. We can shot blast roller shutters in situ using containment systems to protect the building interior and surrounding areas. For severely corroded shutters or those requiring mechanism work, removal to our workshop may be recommended for comprehensive restoration.

Shot blasting improves door operation by removing corrosion and contamination that can bind mechanisms. We carefully protect motors, sensors, and control systems during the process. After restoration and coating, doors typically operate more smoothly than before.

A typical warehouse roller shutter can be shot blasted in 1-2 days depending on size and condition. Large industrial doors or multiple door sets may require longer. We work efficiently to minimize operational disruption and can phase the work to maintain site access.

For industrial doors and roller shutters, we recommend epoxy primer followed by polyurethane topcoat for maximum durability in demanding environments. For high-traffic areas, consider powder coating for superior abrasion resistance. We can advise on the most suitable coating system for your specific application and exposure conditions.
