Our Polycarbonate Shutters Manufacturing Process
At London Shop Fronts, we provide an end-to-end service for business owners in need of updated shop front security features. After conducting our survey of your property and agreeing on an outline for your project, our team of highly skilled tradespeople will start assembling your polycarbonate shutters in our UK factory.
Working to your precise specifications, we construct your shutters from several polycarbonate panels, measuring 5-6mm in thickness. In addition to choosing from either clear or opaque polycarbonate rolling shutter doors, you can customise the colour of the aluminium rods such that they match the aesthetic of your brand or bespoke shop front.
In our commitment to develop products that give business owners the greatest peace of mind, we regularly research and test the resistance of our polycarbonate shutters against the tools commonly used by burglars. Furthermore, as many businesses are required to follow guidelines established by their councils and local authorities when installing shutters on their properties, we offer assistance with the planning permission process so that you can be confident that your polycarbonate shutters are up to code.
