Case Study: Viewguard Perforated Roller Shutter Installation – Wallisdown Pharmacy, Poole, Dorset

HVP Security Shutters was selected to design, supply, and install a premium handcrafted timber roller shutter for Novotel Liverpool, a prestigious hotel located in the vibrant heart of Liverpool city centre. The client sought a security solution that would deliver robust protection for key hospitality areas while enhancing the sophisticated, contemporary interior design of the hotel—a space frequented by business travellers, tourists, and event guests alike.

Solution: Viewguard Micro-Perforated Roller Shutter for Retail & Healthcare Security

After a thorough site survey and consultation with the pharmacy management, HVP Security Shutters specified the Viewguard perforated roller shutter—an industry-leading solution for retail and healthcare environments where both security and visibility are essential. The Viewguard is engineered with a high-quality steel curtain, featuring a micro-perforated lath design that creates a semi-transparent effect when viewed from the outside, especially when the shopfront is lit from within.

About the Viewguard Roller Shutter

Material & Build: Manufactured from durable, heavy-gauge steel, the Viewguard shutter is fitted with laths punched with a multitude of small holes, delivering a unique blend of strength and visibility. This micro-perforation allows up to 30–40% visibility, supporting both security and visual merchandising.
Security: Provides a formidable barrier against theft, break-ins, and vandalism—crucial for pharmacies storing high-value and regulated products.
Visibility & Airflow: The perforated design ensures the pharmacy’s displays remain visible after hours, supporting community trust and deterring opportunistic crime. It also allows for improved airflow and natural light, which is beneficial for both staff and customers.
Operation: Equipped with an electric drive system for smooth, effortless daily use, and includes a manual override to guarantee access during power outages or emergencies.
Finish: Powder coated to match the pharmacy’s branding and blend with the local Poole streetscape, ensuring a professional and attractive appearance.

Location & Application

Location: Wallisdown Pharmacy, Poole, Dorset—situated in a busy retail area, serving a diverse local population and contributing to the wider South West healthcare network.
