Insulated Lath Roller Shutter 
Insulated roller shutter doors are suitable for internal and external openings in a wide range of applications such as warehouses, industrial units, garages, workshops, spray booths, bus depots, agricultural buildings etc. The doors provide insulation whilst retaining the standard roller shutter drive system, which is easy to install and maintain.  
 
Conserve heat and reduce noise 
The design of the insulated lath complete with the CFC free polystyrene infills help to maintain a comfortable working environment by ensuring heat leaving the building is kept to a minimum and also acts as a barrier to prevent cold air entering the building. Giving a “U” value of 0.69w/m2k and an acoustic value of 18dBA. 
 
Operation 
As standard, all doors are supplied with a 3 phase foot mounted direct drive electrically operated motor with a hand chain facility, supplied complete with a separate starter unit incorporating up, down and stop buttons dependent on size with larger doors having a sprocket and chain driven system.  
 
Low Maintenance 
The design characteristics of the insulated roller shutter door ensure that it is virtually maintenance free. In the event of accidental damage the unique twin skinned design enables a quick and easy repair. The insulated roller shutter door combines an aesthetically pleasing appearance with energy efficiency, robust construction and reliability, all at a very competitive price.  
 
Electrical requirements 
A three-phase neutral and earth power supply is required within a fused isolator within approximately 1000mm of the opening requiring a 16amp, 5-pin plug.  
 
Fixing requirements 
The doors require a minimum 50mm face to fit the support angles to, with 140mm side room required at the plain end and 380mm side room required at the motor end. This can be reduced to 140mm at each end with an in-board motor facility in the event of limited space.  
 
Optional Extras 
 
Vision panels 
Single or multiple clear polycarbonate vision panels complete with rubber seals can be fitted with the insulated lath sections to enable vision through the door. 
 
Hood 
The roller barrel assembly can be supplied with a galvanised steel cover to protect from weathering, this is recommended for any external shutter door. The cover is available in a powder-coated finish to any standard RAL or BS colour or in a plastisol finish. 
Needed when the openings are subject to heavy and constant traffic.  
 
Motor cover 
The three-phase electric motor can also be supplied with a galvanised steel cover to protect it from weathering. This cover can be supplied with a solid cover or a hinged bottom section which enables easy access for the hand-chain assembly which can be used to open the door in the event of a power failure. The cover is available in a powder-coated finish to any standard RAL or BS colour or in a plastisol finish.  
 
 
Controls 
A wide variety of electrical and automatic control systems are available. Key switches, external control buttons, induction loops, radars, radio control etc. 
 
Safety features 
An optional safety edge can be fitted to the bottom seal carrier. If the safety edge strikes an object the shutter stops and immediately returns to the open position.  
Photocell beams are also available, if the beam is broken by traffic through the opening the shutter stops and returns to the open position. 
 
Colour finishes 
The curtain is available in a range of finishes including, galvanised, plastisol or aluminium. The curtain can be powder coated to any standard RAL or BS number which may also be applied to other components of the door i.e, guides, bottom rail, barrel and motor cover. The standard plastisol finishes available are: White, Ocean Blue, Solent Blue, Poppy Red, Goosewing Grey, Vandyke Brown, and Aztec Yellow with other colours available on request.  
 
High speed insulated shutters 
The insulated doors can be supplied with a high-speed motor to provide faster opening and closing times, which is sometimes needed when the openings are subject to heavy and constant traffic.

Construction 
Top barrel lath 
The galvanised steel pre-punched top barrel lath section is specifically designed to connect twin  
interlocked insulated skins to a 127mm (5”) barrel and is protected by design right. The top barrel lath  
significantly reduces curtain wrap size. 
Roller barrel assembly 
Constructed from mild steel tube of a suitable outside diameter and wall thickness to suit the shutter  
application. As standard, the barrel is unsprung and works on a direct drive system through the motor  
dependant on door size. 
 
End plates 
Mild steel plates of varying thickness to support the roller barrel assembly. The plates are supplied with a  
slotted section to enable ease of installation of the barrel assembly and are pre-drilled to accept fitting  
of the motor bearing bracket.**§

Guide channel 
The door is supplied with the wind lock “style” insulated guides complete with 100mm x 50mm x 5mm  
continuous pre galvanised angles. The guides are supplied complete with a unique self-locking feature  
that connects a plastic double brush strip carrier to the guide complete with brush strip seals to  
significantly reduce the noise of operation and increase the insulation value. 
Curtain 
Each section is a uniquely dimensioned twin skinned interlocking lath section incorporating a triple ribbed  
face providing increased rigidity. Each twin skinned lath section is retained with a nylon endlock to prevent  
lateral movement.  
Bottom seal 
A galvanised steel bottom seal carrier is fitted to the bottom section of lath complete with a specifically  
designed bottom rubber seal to ensure that the door is effectively sealed once in position.  
Motor 
The directly driven motor assembly is designed specifically to slide onto the key-wayed shaft fitted into  
the barrel assembly to enable ease of fixing to the roller shutter door end plates and to ensure that the  
motor is fitted “square” to enable correct operation of the direct drive system.
