Security Shutters
Our security shutters provide physical and visual deterrence for homes and businesses. Available as external or internal automatic options, they offer insulation, soundproofing, and enhanced security. Manufactured in the UK using aluminium or steel, these shutters are custom-fitted to meet specific security needs while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Fire Shutters
Fire shutters combine security with fire resistance rated up to 4 hours. Electrically operated vertical shutters tested to BS 476 standards, they automatically close during emergencies. Powder-coated finishes ensure style and durability while meeting strict fire safety regulations for commercial and residential properties.
Garage Doors
Insulated roller garage doors offer space-saving security with CE-marked components. Available in manual or automatic options, they feature corrosion-resistant aluminium slats and 7-year motor warranties. We also provide repairs and DIY supply options for existing installations across the South East.
Window Bars
Fixed or removable window bars and grilles deter intruders while maintaining visibility. Made from powder-coated steel, these products come in decorative designs for domestic use or heavy-duty options for commercial properties. Installation includes spreader bars for added strength on taller openings.
Security Grilles
Retractable security grilles allow maximum light while preventing break-ins. Available in white or custom colours with 'X' or 'S' lattice patterns, these grilles suit retail premises and homes. Optional features include hinged swing-away designs and Secured by Design certification for enhanced protection.
