Which transparent roller shutter is most suitable?
Some buildings require the security of a roller shutter, but in an ideal scenario would also maintain aesthetics, vision and/or light flow. In these cases a transparent shutter is likely the most suitable solution.
A see-through barrier allows the public to view shop, gallery or museum displays while it is closed. They can provide light flow to dark industrial units, or ventilation to underground car parks. Transparent roller shutters often assist with planning permission approval as they are commonly viewed as more aesthetically pleasing than a solid shutter.
Vision shutters are easily categorised by the type of transparency they offer. Aluminium and steel slats can be perforated (with many regular small holes) or punched (with larger cut-out sections, commonly in a brick formation although this can be customised). Punched sections can be infilled with inserts for higher security levels. These slats all have matching solid counterparts, which can be incorporated where only partial vision is required.
Other options include the grille-like Tube and Link or the fully transparent polycarbonate Eurolook. For the largest openings between components, take a look at manually operated sliding security grilles.
All transparent security shutters contain the same basic components; the slat curtain, guide channels and the box which contains the shaft assembly and motor (if electrically operated). Guide channel and box sizes are dependent on the size of the opening to be secured and the type of slat used.
In addition to vision level, the choice of slat is also driven by size, budget and security. Below is a list of our popular curtain slats for commercial premises in ascending price order.

How much does a vision roller shutter cost?
Some transparent security shutters do not differ in price from their solid counterparts, while specialist high vision designs can be significantly more. For example, a 3m wide shutter around 2.5m high, electrically operated via key switch and in a standard colour, could cost anything from £1,000 for a punched steel shutter to over £3,000 for a Secured By Design insurance approved P77 Elite (LPCB SR2 Rated) with polycarbonate inserts. The exclusive Eurolook shutter may cost over £5000 for the same size.
Steel products have a galvanised finish as standard. Aluminium products generally come with choice of standard colours such as white, brown and grey. If you cannot find a colour which matches your requirements nearly all shutter profiles can be powder coated any RAL colour for an additional cost.
