Take it from Sheridan Doors, the security of your home or business is of paramount importance. That’s why it pays to install the best possible protection for your premises and this is where roller shutters come in to play.

Roller shutter doors not only keep your building secure, they also do a great job of protecting stored items from the elements in warehouses, factories, schools, retail outlets and many other retail environments. In more rural areas, many famr workers protect their invaluable, expensive machinery and equipment overnight by fitting roller shutters on thier barns. Installing roller shutters can even help reduce your insurance premiums and in some areas is a necessity if you want to keep your building secure when it’s not in use.

How Roller Shutters Work

Industrial roller shutter doors are available in both manual and industrial types which make them perfect to suit different purposes. Typically, they are manufactured using specially-treated metals or fibreglass that are extremely durable. Roller shutter doors open vertically and are a neat and compact way to increase security. Whereas some doors require a tracking mechanism inside your building, this isn’t necessary with roller shutter doors, which leaves more room for storage. Doors come in a range of sizes and are quick and simple to operate. Manual systems are generally operated by a pulley to the side of the door. Industrial roller shutters would normally use a remote control system.

Why Choose Roller Shutter Doors?

If you own or lease an industrial building – such as a warehouse or factory – and want to improve the security of your building then industrial roller shutter doors are a great choice.

• Built to the highest standards, roller shutter doors will easily withstand the daily wear and tear associated with an industrial setting.
• These super-strong doors will also be resistant to break-ins that are carried out on foot or by using a vehicle.
• Roller doors are perfect for keeping an entrance closed in your building, so that the area inside can be kept warm during the winter. In terms of insulation, fibreglass will do a better job than metal so opt for this material if you want your building to be warmer. The area at the back of the door can also be fitted with an industrial curtain to help with heat retention, the opportunites are endless and trust us, it gets cold up North!
• Unlike conventional garage-style doors roller shutter doors open vertically rather than opening out meaning the space in front of the door can be utilised more easily and vehicles can be parked right up to the door, making activities such as the loading and unloading of stock much easier.
• In addition to being strong and durable, many industrial roller shutters are resistant to graffiti – even the good stuff (sorry Banksy) which will help deter vandals from damaging your building.
• If your priority is increasing privacy rather than security you can choose a lightweight door in a material like uPVC which will help keep your space private.
