Shopfront roller shutters are an effective and widely used security feature for businesses, providing protection against break-ins and vandalism. These shutters can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and sometimes polycarbonate, depending on the desired level of security, visibility, and aesthetics.
Here are some benefits and features of roller shutters for shopfront security:
-
Durability and Strength: Roller shutters are designed to withstand physical force. Steel and aluminum versions are especially robust, making them highly resistant to impacts, cutting, and tampering. We recommend you consider extruded roller shutters with locking side channels, this prevents the blades of the shutter from being pushed into the window space and coming out of the channels.
-
Customizable: Roller shutters can be tailored to fit the exact dimensions of a shopfront. Additionally, businesses can choose between solid shutters for complete privacy and security or perforated shutters that allow visibility and air circulation.
-
Ease of Use: They can be manually operated, or with electric or motorized systems for easy opening and closing. Motorized systems can be controlled remotely, providing added convenience, here we have used individual keyfobs that can be carried by the staff.
-
Versatility: Roller shutters provide a flexible solution as they can be installed on different types of storefronts, including glass windows, doors, and entire shopfronts.
-
Protection Against Weather: Besides security, roller shutters offer protection against harsh weather conditions like storms and heavy rain, keeping the shopfront safe and dry.
-
Visual Appeal: Shutters come in various finishes and colors to match a shop’s exterior design, ensuring that they don’t compromise the aesthetic of the business.
-
Added Features:
- Alarm Systems: Some shutters can be integrated with alarm systems that trigger if the shutter is tampered with.
- Access Control: Advanced options can include keypads, swipe cards, or biometric readers for additional access control.
- CCTV Integration: Combining roller shutters with CCTV surveillance can offer enhanced security
