As a roller shutter supplier to the trade, we understand that reliability, performance, and suitability for each application are critical. Trade customers require shutters that are robust, easy to install, and built to meet the demands of commercial and industrial environments.

We supply a comprehensive range of roller shutters designed specifically for trade use. While all roller shutters offer security and protection, each type is engineered for different door sizes, usage levels, and operating requirements.

Below, we outline the key roller shutter types we supply to trade customers and where each solution is best suited.

Tube Operated Roller Shutters

Tube-operated roller shutters are a practical and cost-effective option for smaller openings. Operated manually using a winding handle, they require no electrical connection, making them straightforward to install and maintain.

Key features:

Manual tube operation with no power supply required
Low maintenance with minimal mechanical components
Suitable for small to medium-sized openings
Cost-effective solution for low-frequency use

These shutters are commonly supplied to installers working on small retail units, workshops, or storage areas where affordability and simplicity are priorities. For larger doors or high-usage environments, we generally recommend a motorised alternative.

Industrial Chain Drive Single Skin Shutters

Our industrial chain drive single skin shutters are designed for medium to large openings where ease of operation is essential. The motorised chain drive system allows for reliable operation, while the single skin steel curtain provides solid security.

Advantages include:

Motorised operation for improved usability
Suitable for industrial and commercial door sizes
Proven, reliable chain drive system
More cost-effective than insulated shutter options

These shutters are regularly supplied for warehouses, loading bays, and trade units where insulation is not required but dependable performance is essential.

Industrial Chain Drive 95mm Insulated Shutters

For trade customers requiring improved thermal performance, we supply industrial chain drive shutters with 95mm insulated slats. These shutters combine insulation with strength, making them ideal for more demanding environments.

Benefits include:

Insulated slats for improved thermal and acoustic performance
Motorised chain drive for smooth and controlled operation
Increased rigidity and durability
Suitable for temperature-sensitive or noise-controlled areas

These shutters are often specified for food storage facilities, manufacturing workshops, and commercial premises where energy efficiency is important.

Industrial Direct Drive Single Skin Shutters

Our industrial direct drive single skin shutters are built for frequent operation and long-term reliability. The motor is mounted directly onto the barrel, eliminating chains and reducing mechanical wear.

Key features:

Direct drive motor for efficient, quiet operation
Fewer moving parts means reduced maintenance
Ideal for medium to large openings with high usage
Single skin curtain keeps overall costs competitive

Trade installers frequently choose this option for garages, service centres, and distribution facilities where doors are opened and closed multiple times per day.

Industrial Direct Drive 100mm Insulated Shutters

Industrial direct drive 100mm insulated shutters represent a premium solution within our trade range. Designed for maximum performance, they offer exceptional insulation, strength, and operational efficiency.

Features include:

100mm insulated slats for superior thermal and noise control
Direct drive motor for smooth, reliable operation
Heavy-duty construction for enhanced security
Suitable for large industrial buildings and cold storage

These shutters are commonly supplied for pharmaceutical warehouses, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities with strict environmental and security requirements.

Industrial High-Speed Direct Drive Insulated Shutters

Our high-speed direct drive insulated shutters are designed for environments where rapid access is essential without compromising insulation or durability. Fast operation helps reduce heat loss, improve workflow, and enhance site safety.

These shutters are ideal for high-traffic industrial applications such as logistics hubs, production facilities, and temperature-controlled zones.

Supporting Our Trade Customers

Choosing the right roller shutter depends on several factors:

Door size and structural opening
Frequency of operation
Security and durability requirements
Insulation and environmental control
Project budget and installation considerations

As a dedicated trade supplier, we work closely with installers, contractors, and commercial clients to ensure the correct specification is supplied every time. Whether you require a cost-effective manual shutter or a high-performance insulated system, we provide dependable solutions built for trade use.
