Choosing the Ideal Retail Security Shutters for Your Premises

At MDS Industries, we specialise in designing and manufacturing a wide range of retail security shutters to provide an added level of solution for commercial and retail premises.

Depending on the nature of your business, we can either provide solid roller security shutters or punched or perforated slates. Perforated security roller shutters are almost transparent when backlit, allowing retailers to continue to display their products even when closed, whilst still providing a high level of security. Despite the perforated design, retail security shutters still have a considerable inner integral strength, preventing would-be intruders from breaking in.

Perforated retail security shutters are very common for business premises where a level of ventilation is a prerequisite. A major benefit of perforated shutters is that they can be manufactured for premises with wide openings, whether they be windows or doors, as they can be manufactured to be as much as 10m wide in a single span. Should larger sizes be required, retail security shutters can be manufactured in more than one span.

Punched security shutters do not provide the same transparent effect as perforated slates, however, we can provide them offering as much as 55% vision when they are in the closed position. Punched retail security shutters can provide equal security to solid or perforated shutters, offering a highly cost effective way of providing high levels of security whilst still maintaining a level of visibility. For this reason, fully punched roller security shutters also please local planning authorities.

At MDS Industries, we can provide retail security shutters as either raw galvanised, or with a polyester powder coated finish. Many retailers choose powder coated shutters, as they can then choose security shutters that not only fit with their shop front and branding, but provide an extra level of security.

All of our security roller shutters are powered, allowing them to be opened or closed with the press of a button. We use excellent quality tubular motor units that operate at 240 volts and can provide either a single control, or a multi controlled operation, depending on customer requirements.
