Commercial Security

Although the traditional use of a roller shutter is usually in an industrial environment, they are also used across a wide range of sectors and locations, and with good reason – they’re secure and efficient almost anywhere they’re used. 

 

Newer designs and finishing coatings also mean shutters look much less “industrial” than they may have done in the past, helping them to blend in, in a wider spectrum of buildings. 

 

One of the most common uses for roller shutters in a commercial sense is for high street shops, bars and restaurants, highly secure, they’re incredibly effective at keeping out unwanted visitors during the night (or during the day, for businesses that are part of the nightlife!) When they’re not in use, they roll up and are hidden entirely out of sight 

 

Offices can similarly make use of roller shutters. While a large shutter on the front door may be inefficient for an office where people may be keeping irregular hours, window shutters are an ideal way to improve security. Internal shutters are useful for protecting secure areas in buildings where the façade or practicalities won’t allow for an external shutter, or for businesses in multi-occupancy buildings that have higher security demands – which may impact insurance rates or client contracts 

 

Schools often use roller shutters in similar ways, and they may be particularly effective at keeping out trespassers during the school holidays. It may be impractical to install shutters at every entrance, but they are often used for equipment stores, server rooms and kitchen areas 

 

One of the main factors is that they provide a solution for a door that covers a wide and diverse size without sacrificing security, and with powered mechanisms for opening and closing. This means that a roller shutter can be ideal for securing commercial or private car parks.edit it.
