Security Shutters and Grilles: Knowing the Difference
Owning your commercial premises can be an incredibly rewarding experience. From cafés to boutiques, keeping up the appearance and safety of your storefront is crucial to keeping your business successful.
So, when protecting your shop, should you opt for a shutter or a grille? Read on to learn more about the benefits of each type.
Security Shutters
A traditional and well-recognised method of protecting your storefront, security shutters are a great method to protect your property. The term ‘security shutters’ covers a variety of types of rollaway shutter systems. You can purchase automatic roller shutters, which can store the shutter above the door frame when not in use. Garage door shutters are also available, which store the unused shutter within the roof of the property. This is more common for shops in a unit than high-street storefronts.
In places where graffiti is a popular issue for storefronts, security shutters are effective methods for keeping paint off of a storefront. As security shutters cover the outside of a shop entirely, any spray painting that might happen will only happen to the shutter. Likewise, a shutter protects from weather damage, preventing windows from being broken and incurring the need for costly replacements.
The Benefits
● They are great for a variety of applications, from retail storefronts to car park entrances
● Easy to use
● Protects from vandalism
● Prevents theft and acts as a deterrent
● Weather protection
● Longevity
● Professional appearance
Security Grilles
Differing from security shutters, security grilles can cover storefront windows as well as shopfronts in their entirety. Often with lattice designs, security grilles leave spaces for your storefront to be seen through their protection. This makes the fantastic for keeping your shop in view, keeping the information behind easily readable and attracting customers even when your business is closed.
Grilles can be designed to pull vertically or horizontally, allowing you to choose which might be best for your store. The colour of a security grille can also be modified to fit in with your shop’s colour scheme, creating a coherent and professional look even when the shop is shut.
The Benefits
● A range of colour choices
● Suitable for any shapes and sizes
● Keeps your storefront visible, attracting customers even when closed
● Low-maintenance
● Secure
● Longevity
