Rollac Rolling Shutters Benefits: Visibility
When people think of traditional commercial rolling shutters, they envision a commercial security shutter with a solid metal covering that manually or automatically rolls down to protect a business’s windows or doors. Designed to keep out thieves and protect valuable merchandise, these solid rolling shutters offer no visibility into the building.
However, the perforated version of the roller shutter, a modern and increasingly popular choice within the vast industry of security shutter coverings, is changing this perception.
While perforated shutters might seem like a fad, visibility is one of their most significant benefits and the primary reason they’re here to stay!
At Rollac, our ShopGuard commercial rolling shutter system offers varying degrees of visibility to suit our customers’ different needs.
So, if you’re considering getting a rolling shutter, why not opt for a perforated one for your business or organization? Discover how its visibility feature, coupled with the flexibility and customization options of Rollac’s ShopGuard system, makes it a smart choice and why Rollac is the option for your purchase.
Varying Degrees of Shutter Visibility
While available as a solid shutter, Rollac’s ShopGuard shutter system also comes in a grid pattern. This perforated version allows for 14% visibility, and our rectangular pattern provides a maximum visibility of 40%.
Still offering uncompromisable protection against impacts, these shutter curtains can easily meet the security needs of most businesses. Each shutter comprises an extruded aluminum slat curtain, providing unparalleled protection. While strong, this rolling shutter is light enough to be operated manually.
Our perforated shutters glide smoothly along a rail system mounted to the walls. This system guides the shutter curtain seamlessly into and out of the box housing. Rollac offers a smaller rail version for a more discreet appearance, while the larger rails provide enhanced security and greater resistance to curtain pullout.
The Importance of Visibility for Commercial Shutters
Why choose a perforated rolling shutter that increases visibility? The answer lies in the unique benefits it offers, transforming the concept of a solid rolling shutter into a versatile security solution.
There are several reasons for choosing a rolling shutter with slats, including the following.
Security
Security is one of the biggest advantages of rolling shutters, perforated or otherwise.
However, when considering buying commercial shutters, owners often select perforated rolling shutters for specific reasons, knowing they won’t have to compromise on security.
For example, if you own an equipment rental shop with security shutters, they provide a solid physical barrier against forced entry, their most significant advantage. The sight of them alone acts as an invaluable crime deterrent. But even if thieves decide to break into your business, the perforations will make their activities visible from the outside, quickly alerting passersby of the illegal activity.
24-hour Shopping
When your business is closed, that doesn’t mean customers won’t want to visit your store and window shop.
Let’s say you own a pharmacy in a section of town with high foot traffic. You want your customers to see enough of your inventory from the windows to entice them to buy when you open your doors. At the same time, you want to avoid the potential of a smash-and-grab by thieves on foot. Installing a perforated rolling shutter on the inside windows of your pharmacy will provide that added level of security you seek while allowing your customers that all-important visual access.
Natural Light and Ventilation
The visibility that perforated rolling shutters allows natural light and air to flow into your business. These elements can benefit buildings that generally appear gloomy and feel stuffy, bridging the indoors with the outdoors.
If you live in an area of the country where you don’t need air conditioning during the summer or experience mild winters, installing perforated rolling shutters could save you money on energy costs by letting Mother Nature control the ventilation.
Branding
Like distinctively designed retractable awnings on the sides of a restaurant or hotel, perforated rolling shutters can be a canvas for your brand, increasing your business’s visibility and inspiring creativity in your marketing efforts!
Customizable
Typically, a rolling shutter’s design is customizable. For instance, let’s say you own a gas station; Rollac’s ShopGuard security shutters can be installed on the outside of your building. But let’s say you’ve got certain products that can’t be left on store shelves; that’s when installing perforated rolling shutters to protect your merchandise from theft is the best option.
Often, customers can choose the density and pattern perforation, allowing them to create a unique shutter that aligns with their brand.
