Industrial Roller Shutters
Our industrial roller shutters are constructed from heavy-duty galvanised steel slats with interlocking mechanisms, ensuring durability and high security. Designed for factories, warehouses, and commercial premises, they feature anti-drop safety brakes, powder-coated finishes, and optional electric operation. Custom-built to fit any opening, these shutters combine robust protection with ease of use, meeting UK safety standards while offering thermal and acoustic insulation benefits.
Home Security Shutters
Aluminium home security shutters provide enhanced protection for residential properties, featuring insulated lath profiles and automatic locking systems. Available in manual or electric operation, they improve energy efficiency while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The compact design minimises visual impact, and optional vented slats allow light control. Ideal for windows and garage doors, these shutters offer 24/7 security without compromising convenience or style for homeowners.
Fire Rated Doors
Certified fire-rated doors (1-4 hours) with LPS 1056 compliance offer critical protection for commercial and industrial premises. Constructed from steel with honeycomb cores and panic bar systems, they ensure safe evacuation during emergencies. Available in single/double leaf configurations, these doors feature powder-coated finishes, multi-point locking, and reinforced frames. Tested under ISO9001 standards, they combine fire resistance with forced-entry protection for high-risk environments.
Rapid Industrial Doors
Rapid-opening industrial doors with PVC or insulated panels maintain temperature control while allowing swift vehicle access. Featuring 0.6-1m/sec operation speeds and safety sensors, they resist wind pressure and prevent energy loss. Available in folding or rolling designs, these doors integrate with existing building systems and include emergency release mechanisms. Ideal for warehouses and cold storage facilities, they enhance operational efficiency while maintaining security and environmental control.
Retractable Security Grilles
Custom-built retractable grilles made from galvanised steel offer flexible security for retail, office, and industrial spaces. Featuring multi-point locking systems and powder-coated finishes, they can be locked during the day without blocking daylight. Smooth top-running mechanisms allow easy operation, while removable guide rails enable unobtrusive storage. These grilles provide visible deterrence against intrusions while maintaining architectural aesthetics for both internal and external applications.

The worst company i have ever dealt with , parts missing , faulty electrical parts ,
firstly i was told i wasn't qualified to fit the door when i explained i had a qualified engineer on site then i was told i was opening and closing to many times , the maximum times you can open and close these doors in a day is 8 times . At no stage during the sales pitch was it ever mentioned , its a garage door . Stay well clear of these nutters .

Great people to deal with, after sales spot on. I spoke to a couple of their staff, but mainly Steve who talked me through setting the limits of the door once I fitted it. Really happy with the products and staff. Highly recommended.
