Roller Shutter Engineers Deliver Perfect Security Solution for Bellway Homes' New Development Car Park
We were approached by Bellway Homes to provide a secure shutter solution for their new development in Reading. The Renaissance housing development's main block car park has 90 spaces for the residents of the new complex, and needed to be secured with a roller shutter.
As a leading provider of roller shutters, we knew that we could deliver a product that would meet their needs and expectations.
Fully Automated Car Park Roller Shutter
After discussing their requirements and examining the space, our team recommended a fully automated roller shutter as the ideal solution for this project. The roller shutter provides a high level of security and durability, protecting the car park from potential intruders and harsh weather conditions.
Heavy Duty Motor
To ensure that the shutter could handle the heavy usage and weight of the materials, we used a 3-phase, 100% rated motor. This motor is a reliable and durable option for roller shutters that require heavy-duty operation and high levels of reliability. Our engineers carefully installed and tested the shutter to ensure that it met all of the client's requirements.

Overall, we are pleased to have delivered another fantastic job for our client, Bellway Homes. We are confident that our fully automated roller shutter with a 3 phased 100% rated motor will provide the residents of the new development with a secure and reliable solution for years to come.
Considerations for car-park roller shutters
Roller shutters for car parks should have several safety features to ensure the safety of people and property. Some of the important safety features that roller shutters for car parks should have are safety edges and photoelectric sensors.
Safety edges
A safety edge is a pressure-sensitive strip that detects when an object is in the way of the shutter. On contact with the strip, a signal is sent to the motor, which will immediately stop the shutter and prevent it from closing further, reducing the risk of injury or damage to property.
Photoelectric sensors
These sensors detect movement and can sense when someone or something is in the way of the shutter. They can trigger an automatic shutdown of the shutter, preventing any further movement that could cause harm or damage.
A heavy duty motor
A 3-phase 100% rated motor is typically used on roller shutters when the shutter requires a high level of reliability and durability, and when there is a need for heavy-duty operation, such as with car-parks. This type of motor can handle continuous operation for extended periods without overheating or failing.
Overall, it's important to consult with a qualified professional who can help you choose the right roller shutter for your car park, taking into consideration your specific needs and requirements for safety and security.
