One of the most popular types of roller shutters on the market is the solid shutter. Solid shutters are made from a single piece of material, typically aluminium or steel. This can be powder-coated in a colour to match your brand, chosen from the RAL colour chart.

They are very strong and durable, and they provide a high level of security for your business. The fact that they are one solid sheet of metal means they are very difficult for intruders to break through, and they completely block visibility into your premises so potential thieves are unable to assess whether your inventory is worth the effort of breaking through.

Solid roller shutters can provide good security for a shop, but they have some drawbacks. They can be expensive, and they can be difficult to install unless you’re working with a professional.

They also block out light and can make a shop feel claustrophobic.

Local councils often discourage shops and neighbourhood premises from having solid roller shutters because it can have a negative impact on the perceived safety of an area – having roller shutters that allow walkers to see into the shop during evening hours improves the economic potential of an area.

If you are looking for a high-security option in an industrial area, solid shutters are a good choice. If your shop is in a local shopping district or neighbourhood, then you may want to explore perforated shutters or punched hole shutters.
