Case Study: Roller Shutter Installation – Mare Street Studios, Hackney, London

HVP Security Shutters was selected to design, supply, and install a range of bespoke roller shutters for Mare Street Studios, a dynamic commercial and creative hub in the heart of Hackney, East London. The client required advanced security solutions to safeguard the premises, protect tenants and visitors, and complement the building’s striking, contemporary design. Mare Street Studios, known for its vibrant community of businesses and creatives, demanded both robust protection and seamless architectural integration.

Solution: Custom Roller Shutters for Modern Workspace Security

Following a comprehensive site survey and close collaboration with the project management team, HVP specified and installed a suite of custom-manufactured roller shutters, each tailored to the varied requirements of the workspace. Drawing on our extensive experience in London’s commercial property sector, our team delivered solutions that enhance both security and style, meeting the needs of offices, studios, communal areas, and service entrances throughout the building.
