FlexiGlide® Barrier Sliding Folding Security Shutter: Secure, Versatile, and Built for Demanding Spaces

The FlexiGlide® Barrier is a sliding folding security shutter designed specifically for locations where strong perimeter protection, ventilation, and clear visibility are essential. Unlike traditional roller shutters or fixed grilles, the Barrier model combines a sturdy aluminium framework with open-style latticework, providing a formidable deterrent to unauthorised access while maintaining airflow and sightlines.

Key Features & Benefits

• Maximum Security:
  Engineered with a robust aluminium and steel construction, the FlexiGlide® Barrier provides effective protection for wide openings, entrances, and public areas.
• Sliding Folding Design:
  The innovative sliding folding mechanism allows the shutter to retract smoothly and stack neatly to the side, maximising access and minimising obstruction during trading hours or events.
• Perfect for Large and Curved Openings:
  The FlexiGlide® Barrier is the ideal solution for wide spans, non-linear layouts, and curved shopfronts—making it the go-to choice for shopping centres, airports, stadiums, and leisure complexes.
• Open Lattice for Visibility & Airflow:
  The open barrier design maintains a high level of visibility and ventilation, ensuring safety and comfort in busy public spaces while providing a clear line of sight for security monitoring.
• Customisable Locking Options:
  Choose from a range of secure locking posts and intermediate posts, all designed for quick, safe operation and tailored to your exact security requirements.
• Low Headroom Requirement:
  The FlexiGlide® Barrier sliding shutter can be installed in areas with limited headroom, under suspended ceilings, or in architectural spaces where traditional shutters are not feasible.
