Case Study: Bespoke Roller Shutter Installation – New Build Commercial Project, Hertfordshire
 

Following an in-depth site survey and close collaboration with the project management team, HVP Security Shutters specified a combination of heavy-duty galvanised steel and premium-grade aluminium roller shutters. These were chosen for their proven strength, exceptional corrosion resistance, and suitability for a range of applications within the development—including retail frontages, loading bays, and office entrances.

The installation featured a mix of solid-lath and perforated-lath shutters, providing both maximum security and controlled visibility where required. All shutters were powered by high-performance electric drive systems, delivering reliable, effortless daily operation, with integrated manual override mechanisms for emergency access.
