Securing Mint Bakery at The O2 Arena with FlexiGlide Vision Guard Shutters

Mint Bakery, located in the Icon Outlet at The O2 Arena in London, is renowned for its delicious sweet treats, coffees, and fresh juices. To safeguard their store's 15-metre curved frontage in a mall accessible 24/7, Mint Bakery required a security solution that was both effective and aesthetically pleasing.

The primary challenge was to secure a 15-metre curved storefront within a bustling shopping area that remains open around the clock, while ensuring the security measures complemented the bakery's inviting appearance.

• Client: Mint Bakery
• Location: Icon Mall, O2 Arena, London, SE10 0DX
• Product Installed: FlexiGlide Vision Guard sliding folding security shutter
• Application: Closing off bakery storefront outside of opening hours

Solution

FlexiGlide's Vision Guard sliding folding security shutters were chosen to meet Mint Bakery's needs. These shutters are designed to provide excellent airflow and visibility, maintaining an open feel while offering a high level of security. Constructed from rigid aluminium panels, they are available in virtually any colour, allowing them to seamlessly blend with the bakery's design aesthetic.

Implementation

The installation involved fitting the Vision Guard shutters along the 15-metre curved frontage of Mint Bakery. FlexiGlide's shutters are top-hung and capable of accommodating curves, making them ideal for the bakery's unique storefront design. FlexiGlide shutters slide horizontally and fold away completely when not in use, ensuring unobstructed access during operating hours.
