Case Study: FlexiGlide Sliding Shutters at Westfield London
 

Case Study: FlexiGlide Sliding Shutter Solutions – Westfield Shopping Centres (London, Stratford City, and White City)

Project Overview

Westfield’s flagship shopping centres in London—Stratford City and White City—are renowned for their contemporary architecture, high-profile retail brands, and constant footfall. The requirement: secure, reliable, and visually appealing shutters for a wide variety of retail units, each with its own brand identity and unique shopfront design. HVP Security Shutters was selected to deliver a versatile security solution with minimal impact on the premium look and feel of these iconic retail destinations.

Our Solution: Bespoke FlexiGlide Sliding Shutters
HVP Security Shutters supplied and installed our FlexiGlide sliding shutter systems throughout Westfield London, Westfield Stratford City, and Westfield White City. Working in partnership with shopfitters, architects, and contractors, we managed every aspect of the project—from initial design and survey to supply and installation.
