Solid Range
Zero visibility. A solid slat that reads as a wall when the door is shut.
Roller Shutters
Commercial & Industrial Roller Shutters
Custom-made steel and aluminium shutter doors that close a shopfront, warehouse, or factory opening completely. Solid, perforated, or patterned so you can still see through.
A roller shutter door is a steel or aluminium curtain that rolls up into a box above the opening and closes the full span when you need it shut. DEFENDoor® makes three ranges, each tailored to your measured opening: solid, standard perforated, and a patented bubble perforation.
One range covers a great many openings, which is why the same door suits commercial shopfronts, industrial warehouses, factories, garages, offices, and homes. One of our consultants measures the opening on site, and each door is then made to that exact spec.
What separates the three ranges is how much you want to see through the door once it is closed. Solid slats give zero visibility. Standard perforation puts 166 three-millimetre holes through every 100mm of slat, so light and air pass while the opening stays shut. The bubble perforation does the same work in a patented pattern of varied circles that reads as a design feature, which suits a closed frontage that still has to look like something.

The range
Three custom solutions
What separates the ranges is how much you want to see through the door once it is closed. All three are custom-made to the measured opening, in aluminium or solid steel.
-
Standard Perforated Range
166 x 3mm holes per 100mm of slat, so light and air pass while the opening stays shut.
Bubble Perforated Range
DEFENDoor®'s patented pattern of varied circles. Security that boasts a sophisticated design feature.
Models and specifications
All three ranges are custom-made to the opening and share the same materials, finish options, and operation. They differ only in what you can see through.

Manual push-up operation is available up to 3m x 2.5m, and larger openings take a gearbox, chain drive, or electric motor. A fully galvanised finish can replace powder coating where corrosion resistance counts for more than colour.
Colours
Every shutter is galvanised and powder-coated, in one of six standard colours or matched to a specification.
- Silver
- Chocolate Brown
- White
- Bronze
- Anthracite Grey
- Black
Custom colours available on request.
Colours shown here are a guide. Powder coating looks different in daylight than on a screen, so ask for a physical sample before you decide.

Materials, visibility, and operation
-
Aluminium or solid steel
Every range comes in either material, with galvanised slats under the finish. You choose the material for the opening and the duty it takes, so it is not fixed by the range you pick.
-
Patented bubble perforation
DEFENDoor®’s own patented bubble perforation puts a pattern of varied circles through the slat, so a closed door still shows a lit interior instead of presenting a blank steel wall to the street.
-
Galvanised and powder-coated
Every shutter is galvanised and powder-coated, and can be colour matched. Where corrosion resistance counts for more than appearance, a fully galvanised finish is available instead.
-
Manual through to motorised
Manual push-up up to 3m x 2.5m, then a gearbox, chain drive, or electric motor beyond that. We match the operation to the size of the opening and how often it is used.
-
Very little maintenance
These doors need little upkeep and are easy to keep clean. Wash them down, keep the tracks clear of debris, and have the mechanism inspected and lubricated once a year.
-
Payment terms available
You can pay over up to 24 months through FeverTree, so a full site need not be secured one opening at a time.

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of industrial roller shutters?
Industrial roller shutters give an opening robust security while shielding it from weather and dust and cutting outside noise, and they can be set up for controlled access on high-traffic entrances. Because the door rolls up into a box above the opening, it takes no floor or wall space when it is open.
Can roller shutters be customised to fit specific openings?
Yes. Every roller shutter is custom-manufactured to your exact dimensions and operational needs. One of our consultants measures the opening on site rather than estimating from a photograph, so the door fits the span it was made for.
What materials are used in DEFENDoor® roller shutters?
DEFENDoor® roller shutters are made from solid steel or aluminium, with galvanised slats. Finishes are powder-coated and can be colour matched, or fully galvanised where corrosion resistance counts for more than appearance.
Are motorised roller shutters available?
Yes. Motorised roller shutters suit larger installations and high-traffic entrances that need to open and close easily. Manual push-up operation is available up to 3m x 2.5m, with a gearbox or chain drive covering the range between manual and a full electric motor.
How do I maintain my roller shutter doors?
Roller shutter doors need little maintenance. Clean them with mild detergent and water, check the tracks for debris, and have the mechanism professionally inspected and lubricated once a year to keep it running smoothly.
Can I see one before I order?
Yes, and you should. Ask to see a sample door before you commit to any purchase. Our consultants bring one to the free security assessment and will answer your security questions at the same time.
How long is the guarantee on an industrial roller shutter?
Every commercial and industrial roller shutter carries an eighteen-month guarantee, across all three ranges: solid, standard perforated, and bubble perforated.
