The shutter curtain is formed from heavy-duty galvanised steel leaves with a vertical ribbed profile, 230mm wide. Pickets and lattice bars are manufactured from cold-rolled galvanised steel strips, providing structuRAL integrity and flexibility. The leaves and lattice are connected with Teflon-coated, self-lubricating bolts for smooth, low-friction operation.
Top tracks are formed from cold-rolled galvanised steel into a lipped channel to house the roller bearings securely. The bottom track is set into the floor for stability. Top track brackets and soffits are fabricated from mild steel and galvanised sheet steel, providing support and sealing the gap between shutter and structure. Closure panels seal the shutter ends to the jambs, and can be extended to suit site-specific needs.
