At Secure Door Systems we are proud to announce the arrival and availability of our polycarbonate shutters. They look amazing, offer extraordinary strength and are visible in excess of 90%. Today we are looking at the benefits of this specific type of roller shutter.


Where can Polycarbonate Roller Shutters be Used?

Due to their strength and reliability, shutters are ideal for both the industrial and commercial purposes. To date we have designed and fitted for use on luxurious cruise liners and even for a tiger enclosure at London Zoo. The fact this product is strong enough for tigers should provide enough confidence in their ability to protect. In addition to the aforementioned, our polycarbonate shutters are accepted across the UK by local authorities and regeneration departments.

How Strong are they Really?

As far as shutters go, when a product is good enough to protect the public from tigers, it’s fairly strong. As robust as steel, our polycarbonate option can be compared to a 20 gauge steel shutter.

Are Polycarbonate Shutters Resilient?

Absolutely. Under general use a polycarbonate roller shutter will withstand force. It won’t scratch, crack or break, a huge plus in terms of security.

Is the Process of Buying Easy?

We make sure it is. From an initial phone call we will discuss your requirements. From here, a member of our expert team will visit you on site. Afterwards we will be able to provide you with a free, fully comprehensive, no obligation quotation. The product is custom built specifically to your requirements and we do of course, offer technical design assistance if needed. The beauty of this product is its self supporting qualities. Absolutely no structural work is required.

Tell us About Carbon Footprint

This sought after, custom created product is fantastic when it comes to a company’s carbon footprint. Our polycarbonate roller shutters are 100% recyclable meaning you can purchase and use without worry.

How Noisy are They?

The beauty is that when operating, they’re practically silent.
