We recently completed the installation of a 3.7m wide by 3.2m high insulated lath roller shutter for a busy workshop, carrying out the work on a Sunday to ensure there was no disruption to the client’s daily operations.
For businesses where workflow and productivity are critical, careful scheduling is just as important as the quality of the installation itself. By working outside of standard operating hours, we ensured the workshop could resume full activity on Monday morning without delay.
The Specification
This installation was designed to provide durability, insulation and enhanced safety for a high-traffic industrial environment.
Shutter Size
- 3.7 metres wide
- 3.2 metres high
A substantial opening requiring a robust, heavy-duty solution suitable for frequent daily use.
Insulated Lath Curtain
The insulated lath construction provides:
- Improved thermal efficiency
- Reduced heat loss
- Increased rigidity and strength
- Noise reduction benefits
For workshops and industrial units, maintaining internal temperature and reducing energy loss can make a noticeable difference over time.
3 Phase Motor for Reliable Performance
Due to the size and operational demands of the workshop, the shutter was fitted with a 3 phase motor.
Three-phase motors are ideal for larger industrial shutters because they:
- Provide smoother operation
- Deliver consistent power
- Handle frequent opening and closing
- Offer improved longevity in heavy-use environments
This ensures dependable daily performance, even in high-demand settings.
Enhanced Safety Features
Safety is a critical consideration in any industrial setting. This installation included:
Wireless Safety Edge
The wireless safety edge system immediately stops and reverses the shutter if it detects an obstruction during closing. This protects:
- Vehicles
- Equipment
- Staff
- The shutter mechanism itself
Photo Cells
Photo cells provide an additional safety layer by detecting movement or obstruction in the shutter’s path before contact occurs.
Together, these features significantly reduce risk and help ensure compliance with workplace safety standards.
Minimising Downtime for a Busy Workshop
Workshops rely on uninterrupted access for deliveries, vehicle movements and production processes. Closing access for even a single working day can cause operational disruption.
By completing this installation on a Sunday:
- No working hours were lost
- No workflow was interrupted
- The client avoided operational downtime
- Staff could return Monday to a fully operational system
Planning installations around the client’s schedule is part of our commitment to delivering a professional service.
Industrial Roller Shutter Installation for High-Traffic Premises
Larger industrial openings require careful consideration of:
- Structural fixing points
- Motor specification
- Wind loading
- Usage frequency
- Safety compliance
This project demonstrates the importance of matching the shutter specification to the environment. A domestic-grade system would not have been suitable for this type of workshop.
Whether you operate from an industrial estate, warehouse unit or large commercial premises, choosing the correct shutter system ensures long-term performance and reliability.
Why Insulated Roller Shutters Are a Smart Choice
Insulated roller shutters are increasingly popular for industrial and commercial settings due to their added benefits:
- Better energy efficiency
- Reduced condensation
- Improved acoustic control
- Stronger curtain profile
- Professional appearance
For businesses concerned about heating costs or noise control, insulated systems provide a practical and long-lasting solution.
