- Punched galvanised slat, mixed options
- Openings to 6 000mm wide
Perforated shutters solve a specific Midrand problem. A retail tenant wants the opening genuinely closed overnight but still wants the window display working, and centre management wants the frontage to look occupied rather than boarded. A punched curtain does both, and in the right gauge it is a real barrier.
Where perforated roller shutter doors suit Midrand premises
- Shopfronts at Waterfall and Mall of Africa, where a display should still read after close.
- Showrooms through Randjespark and Halfway House, where stock is part of the marketing.
- Ventilated stores and plant enclosures needing airflow with the opening secured.
- Parking entrances where visibility through the opening improves security rather than reducing it.
Choosing the perforation pattern
The pattern is a trade-off and we show you samples rather than describe it. A larger, more open punch gives better visibility and airflow and slightly less resistance; a tighter pattern gives more resistance and a more solid night-time appearance. The slat gauge matters more than the hole size.
Security expectations for perforated roller shutter doors
Be clear about what the door is protecting. For a fashion or homeware frontage a perforated curtain in a proper gauge is entirely appropriate. For a jewellery or electronics tenancy we would recommend a solid curtain, or solid behind the display line, and we say so at survey rather than selling the more attractive option.
Lighting behind perforated roller shutter doors
A perforated shutter is only worth having if the display is lit behind it. Worth checking the shopfront lighting circuit at the same time, because a dark display behind a punched curtain reads exactly like a solid one.
