Retrofitting Industrial Units with Modern Insulated Roller Shutters

We've been retrofitting Vulcan Estate's industrial units in Exeter with modern 95mm insulated roller shutters, aiming to enhance security, energy efficiency, and operational convenience.

Given the often large and varied sizes of openings in industrial buildings, roller shutters offer an efficient solution for closing off these spaces, providing security, weather protection, and ease of access.

Over the years, industrial units have relied on traditional roller shutters for security and access control. While these older roller shutters have served their purpose, advancements in technology have paved the way for more efficient and effective solutions.

With the introduction of insulated roller shutters, industrial buildings can now benefit from enhanced security, improved insulation, and greater energy efficiency.

Modern Insulated Roller Shutters

The transition from traditional single-walled roller shutters to modern insulated alternatives represents a significant upgrade for industrial properties. Not only do insulated roller shutters provide superior protection against intruders and adverse weather conditions, but they also contribute to a more comfortable working environment for occupants.

By minimizing heat loss and reducing noise pollution, these innovative shutters play a crucial role in optimizing energy consumption and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Example of an outdated industrial unit with an old single-walled roller shutter. Although functional, such roller shutters offer no insulation and can be less secure than more modern, insulated roller shutters.

Retrofitting the units at Exeter's Vulcan Estate

In collaboration with one of our longstanding clients, we've embarked on an ongoing project to refurbish all the units at Vulcan Estate in Exeter. Each unit undergoes comprehensive refurbishment, including the replacement of outdated single-skin roller shutters with 95mm insulated, industrial roller shutters.

This initiative aims to enhance security, energy efficiency, and operational convenience for the occupants of these industrial units.

For each unit, we remove and dispose of the old shutter and install an insulated 3-phase direct drive motor roller shutter in Anthracite grey.

Benefits of Insulated Roller Shutters

Insulated roller shutters offer a multitude of benefits, enhancing the functionality and security of industrial units.

Thermal Insulation:

The insulated roller shutters feature a design that effectively minimizes heat loss, thereby conserving energy and reducing heating costs. With a "U" value of 0.69 w/m2k, these shutters help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Noise Reduction:

The CFC-free polystyrene infill within the shutter design acts as an effective noise barrier and helps reduce ambient noise levels within the industrial units by up to 18dBA. This enhances the overall working environment and employee well-being.

Enhanced Security:

The robust construction of our insulated roller shutters, coupled with their advanced locking mechanisms, provides excellent security against unauthorized access and intrusion, safeguarding valuable assets and equipment housed within the industrial units.

Conclusion

We believe that retrofitting the doors of Vulcan Estate's factory buildings with insulated roller shutters is a smart way to modernize the units, save energy, and improve safety.

We're happy that by installing more modern security roller shutters to the units, we can contribute make these factories work and look better.
