To help you ensure that you’re investing in the best industrial roller shutter door, below are some essential things to take into consideration.
The level of security you require
Not all industrial roller shutters will offer the same level of protection to a premises and if you’re looking for a highly secure product, some shutters will be more suitable than others. For example, the SeceuroDoor 9501 is a level 1 security rated and insurance approved roller shutter. It is tested to Loss Prevention Standard 1175-2 (LPS 1175-2) and you can install it in confidence knowing it is suitable for high-security locations. So, consider how important security is to you when choosing your new shutter.
How the roller shutter will be operated
Contrary to popular belief, not all industrial roller shutters are electrically operated and it is possible to get manually operated alternatives. Take the SeceuroDoor 75c, for example, this is a manual hand chain operated shutter and it’s ideal for applications where power isn’t available. You will need to know whether you’re able to have an electrically operated shutter and decide whether this is the most suitable solution for your individual circumstances, you may find that a manually operated solution would be best.
When the shutter is going to be used
Depending on how frequently you’re planning to use your industrial roller shutter, you may find some designs aren’t suitable. Generally speaking, most industrial roller shutters are supplied with medium to high usage motors, however, it is beneficial to double-check if the motor is sufficient when you’re going to be opening and closing the shutters multiple times a day. It is always advisable to get a system with an industrial motor that allows for higher usage.
Any additional benefits you’re interested in
Roller shutters aren’t just popular for their security benefits, they also provide a number of other advantages, from noise reduction to thermal efficiency. For example, the SeceuroDoor 77 combines the robust qualities of the SeceuroDoor 75, but it also features an insulated curtain which helps to improve energy efficiency. It is useful to think about whether you’re interested in any of these additional features when choosing which shutter to install.
The colour of the roller shutter
Lots of industrial roller shutters have the option of a high-quality powder coat finish to any RAL or BS colour, meaning you can tailor the appearance of the shutter to your individual needs. Whether you want the shutter to complement your existing colour scheme or match your brand colours, consider which colour would be most suitable for your new industrial roller shutter.
