Roller Shutters
ROLLER SHUTTERS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
Here at Alliance Doors, we can deliver a bespoke roller shutter design and installation service to all our clients. We are committed to providing shutters which are highly-resilient and simple to operate daily. Over the years, the team at Alliance Doors has manufactured and installed roller shutters in some unique properties all over the world.
Recently, our team were called upon to manufacture and install a bespoke roller shutter for an RAF base. This hard-wearing roller shutter was one of the largest we’ve ever produced and installed and is designed to offer a lifetime of service. Creating a roller shutter for an airplane hangar was a unique challenge, but we’re extremely proud of the way it turned out. All of our roller shutters are also designed to provide a high level of clearance without requiring any additional space. This enables the professionals at the RAF to take full advantage of their available space.
WHY ARE ROLLER SHUTTERS PERFECT FOR LARGE INDUSTRIAL SPACES?
Roller shutter doors are ideal for larger industrial spaces, including airplane hangars and warehouses. Many larger designs can be difficult to operate every day. They can also take a great deal of time to open and shut, which can be problematic in harsh weather conditions. Another potential risk for large openings is that, due to their surface area, they will sustain a great deal of damage due to high wind speeds.
Fortunately, the rollers that we can provide are able to withstand wind speeds of up to 150mph. They are all designed from industry-leading materials to ensure that they will deliver an unbeatable service for many years to come. In addition to the natural versatility and durability of large roller shutters for industrial spaces, they can be equipped with a range of unique features to improve their suitability for their environment.
UNIQUE ADD-ONS FOR ROLLER SHUTTERS
An important part of any roller shutter installation is the addition of other features which can improve the practicality of the shutters. By choosing to equip your large roller with some of these features, you’ll be able to make it much more practical and easier to operate daily. Some of the additions that you can make include:
- Industrial Top and Bottom Tracks – One of the most common problems with shutters, particularly rollers, is that they rely on their tracks. These pieces of metal can suffer damage over many years. In some cases, they can even become buckled or warped. This can prevent the shutters from opening at all.
Here at Alliance Doors, the tracks for all our doors are made from hard-wearing materials. They can provide a life-time of service without requiring any kind of maintenance. The weight of the roller will be evenly spread out along the tracks and, when they are fit flush with the floor, they are protected against damage from vehicles and foot traffic.
- Brush Strips – Brush strips can be used to eliminate all kinds of debris beneath the roller doors. This can help to remove even minor debris which can lead to blockages or damage to the tracks. They can also help to prevent the metals from scraping together. This can also help to reduce the noise caused by the operating of the large roller shutters.
- Wicket Doors are a very important part of any large Roller Shutters to allow personnel access without having to raise the entire door. We can factor in Wicket Doors to any roller shutters we manufacture to ensure you maintain the most efficient solution in terms of insulation and speed of access.
- Safety and Security Features – There is a range of security and safety features which can be installed as part of your shutters system. For example, hard-wearing locks and key-operation boxes to prevent unauthorised access. Safety options can include manual overriding switches and sensors to prevent the door from closing on a person or vehicle.
