Aluminium Roller Grill Shutters | London City Group

Description

An aluminium roller grill shutter is a retractable security barrier made from interlinked aluminium rods that provides excellent visibility, airflow, and robust protection for your commercial premises. It’s the perfect solution for retail shops, shopping centres, and kiosks where you need to secure the entrance after hours while still showcasing your window displays and interiors 24/7.

Key Features

Our roller grills combine high-security engineering with a refined aesthetic that complements modern aluminium shopfronts.

Unobstructed Visibility

The open grille design allows natural light to flood in and keeps your products fully visible to passers-by, effectively turning your storefront into a round-the-clock marketing tool.

Smooth, Quiet Operation

Each shutter is assembled with precision-engineered link components that glide effortlessly into a compact top box, minimising noise and daily wear.

Custom Finishes

We offer powder coating in any RAL colour to match your existing shopfront or corporate branding seamlessly.

Materials and Construction

We manufacture these grilles exclusively from high-grade extruded aluminium, giving you strength without the heavy weight of steel alternatives.

• Aluminium rods and connecting links for corrosion resistance and long life
• Internal steel spring barrel tested to 20,000 cycles
• Side guides available in aluminium or galvanised steel
• End locks and bottom rail with secure shoot-bolt system
• Powder-coated finish (standard silver or white, bespoke colours available)

The curtain is assembled using a crimped link method that prevents rods from being pried apart, while the entire system is supported by sturdy side channels that can be face-fixed or built into the reveal. Optional perforated infill panels can be added for a semi-solid appearance without losing air circulation.

Common Use Cases

This style of shutter is ideal wherever daytime openness must combine with nighttime security.

• High-street retail shops with glazed shopfronts
• Enclosed shopping centre kiosks and concession stands
• Car park payment booths and ticket offices
• School canteens and receptions requiring fire-rated segregation
• Airport counters where ventilation and sight lines are essential

Because the grille allows continuous airflow, it’s also widely specified for plant rooms and service risers in commercial buildings, helping to meet ventilation requirements without compromising on access control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the roller grill be motorised?

Yes, every grille can be fitted with a tubular motor and remote control. We supply motors from leading brands such as Somfy and Nice, either as part of the initial order or as a retrofit upgrade later.

What is the maximum width available?

We can manufacture single curtains up to 6 metres wide without an intermediate post. For wider openings, we offer a twin-grille arrangement that meets in the middle, giving a clear span of up to 12 metres.

Does the aluminium grille meet fire regulations?

The product itself is non-combustible, and we can configure it with fusible links and fail-safe release mechanisms. This makes it suitable for protected escape routes and compartmentation lines when specified correctly. Please share your project’s fire strategy so we can confirm compliance.
