Security shutters and glazing
Protection that works while you are not there. Roller shutters, grilles and security glass that guard the premises without hiding the business.

Security that suits the street
A solid shutter is a strong deterrent, but a street of blank steel does nobody any favours, and some councils will not permit it. Perforated and punched laths let passers-by and patrols see inside and keep window displays working at night. Grilles do the same with an even lighter touch.
We survey the opening, advise on the right level of protection for the risk and your insurer's requirements, and fit shutters that tuck neatly into the shopfront rather than looking like an afterthought.
A visible deterrent
Solid, perforated or punched laths in galvanised steel or aluminium.
Simple to operate
Electric operation by key switch, rocker switch or remote, with manual override.
Security glass
Laminated glazing tested to BS EN 356 resists repeated blows.
Colour matched
Powder coated to match your shopfront and signage.
Layers of protection
Shutters and security glazing work best together. Laminated security glass holds together when struck, so even a determined attack takes time and makes noise. Behind or in front of it, a shutter or grille protects the glass itself and the door.
Inside, retractable grilles protect vulnerable windows and doors at the rear of the premises without blocking light during the day.

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
Do I need planning permission for a roller shutter?
External shutters on shops usually need planning permission, and many councils prefer perforated or open-lath designs to solid ones. Internal shutters and grilles often do not. We recommend checking with your local planning authority before ordering.
What is BS EN 356?
It is the European standard for security glazing that resists manual attack. Classes P1A to P5A are tested with a falling steel ball, and P6B to P8B with repeated axe and hammer blows. Your insurer may specify a class.
What happens in a power cut?
Electric shutters can be supplied with a manual override so they can be raised or lowered by hand if the power fails.
