Case Study: FlexiGlide Vision Guard Sliding Shutter Installation – Leeds Skelton Motorway Services

Project Overview

Following a detailed site survey and close consultation with the facilities management team, HVP Security Shutters specified the FlexiGlide Vision Guard sliding shutter—a premium solution designed for environments demanding both robust security and a sense of open space. The Vision Guard model is renowned for its strength, durability, and ability to secure wide or curved openings while maintaining clear visibility and airflow.

Solution: Vision Guard Sliding Shutter for Contemporary Service Environments
For Leeds Skelton Motorway Services, the FlexiGlide Vision Guard sliding shutter was custom-manufactured and installed below a suspended ceiling. This approach ensured seamless architectural integration, preserving the site’s open, modern look while providing highly effective protection for retail and catering areas outside trading hours.
