Transparent Roller Shutter Doors in Edenvale

A transparent roller shutter door locks an opening without hiding what is behind it. In Edenvale it suits retail, showrooms and the converted buildings where the interior is the attraction and blanking it out at night would defeat the point of the conversion.

How a transparent roller shutter door is built

• Polycarbonate panels linked by aluminium slats, so the curtain rolls like any other.
• Full-height glazed curtains where the whole opening should stay visible.
• Mixed curtains with a solid or perforated lower section under a glazed upper.
• Standard guides and locking, so security is not traded away for visibility.

Glazed shutters in converted industrial space

A restaurant, gallery, gym or showroom in an old industrial building has usually spent a great deal of money on the interior, and a solid shutter turns that frontage into a blank wall every evening. A glazed curtain keeps the space visible and secured at once, which is exactly the trade-off these doors exist for.

Transparent shutters for retail

At Greenstone, Stoneridge and on the trading streets, a glazed shutter means the display keeps working after closing. The shop is locked, the window is not, and passing traffic still sees the stock.

Showrooms and dealerships

Vehicle, furniture and equipment showrooms use glazed shutters so the stock is visible and secured at the same time, and on a main road frontage that visibility is worth a considerable amount.

Security of a glazed curtain

Polycarbonate is not glass. It flexes rather than shatters and resists impact well, but on a street frontage we specify a solid or perforated lower section under a glazed upper so the reachable part of the door is steel. That gives display above and security below.

Where a transparent shutter is the wrong choice

Industrial yards, doors that take forklift traffic, wash-down environments and any opening where night-time privacy matters more than visibility. We will recommend a perforated curtain instead in those cases, which is also the cheaper sale.

Scratching, clouding and cleaning

The honest limitation is surface wear. Polycarbonate scratches more easily than glass, and a shutter cleaned with the wrong cloth by a well-meaning contractor will cloud. We explain the cleaning at handover rather than after it has happened.

Motorisation on transparent shutters

These curtains are light, so tube motors handle them comfortably. Safety edges are fitted as standard because these doors are nearly always on openings the public walks through.
