Case Study
Sussex Roller Shutter Install
Overview
Sussex Roller Shutter Install
For our Sussex roller shutter install we had a brief from our customer that they wanted to upgrade some wooden doors on their home gym, to something insulating, weatherproofing and more secure.
Within the same building they also had a car port that let in all kinds of weather, leaves and rodents. This would need closing off to provide a more secure useable space.
The solution must be aesthetically pleasing, practical and reliable….
The Solution
So for our Sussex roller shutter install we went with a pair of 77mm electric insulated roller shutter doors. Whilst sectional doors could have provided more insulation (40mm thick), and a bit more security they would not have provided the same internal space saving benefits as a roller shutter.
The installation type was decided as internal face fix. This was to allow maximum width and height inside the spaces and the colour choice was anthracite grey RAL Code 7016. We supplied 4 button remote control key fobs so both shutters could be controlled from a single fob and both roller shutters came with full, internal roller covers, internal Teleco control panels, manual over rides and safety edges to allow automatic closure.
There was a door at the rear of the left hand gym so this roller shutter had a standard internal manual over ride (in case of power failure) but the right hand garage did not have another door access. So we provided an external over ride kit that provides secure, external access in case of power failure. See the middle picture below.
The Advantages Of The Electric Roller Shutter
Security
“The electric roller shutter now used widely across the world for garages was originally designed as a Security Shutter. The roller shutter kits we provide all come with locking straps to avoid being lifted by an intruder. We also have an alarm option built into the control panels to act as an additional deterrent. The roller shutter product offers much more security than their existing wooden doors”.
Weather Proofing
“With cold and draughts in the winter months and heat in the summer the roller shutter door was a great addition to the home gym. Its rubber seal along the floor helps to keep out rain, draughts and leaves. In the summer months the roller shutter can be raised partly or fully to provide the open air feeling”.
Space
“Most other door options would have required tracks but not the roller shutter. It rolls up into a nice neat box so there is no space lost when the door is opened. The design and instalation type also allowed for maximum height and width”.
Automation
“With the safety devices fitted to these shutters they are configured for automatic closure at the single press of a button. Internal control panels and key fobs provide flexibility and with the possibility of linking into a home hub the solution is automation friendly”.
The Result
This building is the first thing that you see as you pull onto the drive and this installation has provided a more secure and contemporary look to the whole property. The gym can now be used with less draughts and water ingress and the right hand space is now secure and weather tight. A real Sussex roller shutter install success.
“These roller shutters have truly transformed these areas, enhancing their functionality and perfectly meeting our needs. We are thoroughly impressed with the installation and product.”
