About Our Traditional Roller Shutter Doors
Traditional roller shutter doors provide a practical way to secure entrances while allowing access for vehicles, goods and equipment.
The shutter curtain moves vertically and rolls above the opening, making it suitable for commercial and industrial buildings where space and security are important considerations.
At our Birmingham manufacturing base, we produce traditional shutter laths and bottom rails, giving us direct involvement in the construction of the doors we supply.
Our industrial roller shutters are available with different operating systems, including single-phase tubular motors and three-phase industrial motors.
The right arrangement depends on the size of the opening, how frequently the shutter will be used and the requirements of your premises.
Key Features of Our Traditional Roller Shutter Doors
A roller shutter needs to suit the opening, the level of security required and the demands of daily operation.
Our traditional shutters offer a choice of construction, operation and finishing options.
Security for Commercial and Industrial Premises
Steel roller shutters create a physical barrier across entrances, helping protect buildings against unauthorised access. For premises with more demanding security requirements, Amyco offers security roller shutters with SR2, SR3 and SR4 rating options. The appropriate specification depends on the security needs of the building and the particular shutter configuration.
Durable Steel Construction
Our traditional roller shutters use steel curtain construction designed for regular commercial and industrial operation. Galvanised finishes are available, providing a practical option for shutters exposed to everyday working conditions. For warehouses, factories and storage facilities, choosing the correct curtain and operating system is important for long-term performance.
Motorised Roller Shutter Operation
Our motorised shutters are designed to provide straightforward opening and closing. Tube motor roller shutters use a tubular motor arrangement, while three-phase industrial motors provide another option for commercial and industrial applications. The choice of motor should reflect the shutter dimensions, operating frequency and site requirements.
Sizes, Colours and Finishes
Traditional roller shutter doors can be manufactured in different sizes, colours and finishes to suit the opening and appearance of your premises. Whether you need a galvanised shutter for an industrial unit or a particular finish for a commercial building, our team can discuss the available options.
Roller Shutters Manufactured in Birmingham
Amyco manufactures traditional roller shutter components at our Birmingham facility, including shutter laths and bottom rails.
For businesses working to a tight schedule, manufacturing lead time can be an important consideration.
Our original product specification states that traditional shutters using 20 SWG curtains with a galvanised finish can be manufactured within 24 hours, with single-phase tubular or three-phase industrial motor options.
This applies to the specified shutter configurations rather than every product or order. Manufacturing availability and installation times should be confirmed when discussing your requirements.
As an industrial roller shutter manufacturer and supplier, we can help you establish the appropriate shutter specification before production.
Where Are Traditional Roller Shutter Doors Used?
Our commercial roller shutters are suitable for a range of properties where secure access and straightforward operation are priorities.
Warehouses and Storage Units
Roller shutter doors provide a practical entrance for goods, vehicles and equipment while allowing the building to be secured when access is no longer required. The shutter size and operating system can be selected according to the opening and frequency of use.
Factories and Industrial Facilities
Industrial roller shutters are commonly used at entrances to factories, workshops and manufacturing premises. For larger openings or shutters used regularly throughout the working day, the motor arrangement and curtain specification deserve particular consideration.
Shops, Offices and Commercial Properties
Commercial roller shutters can help secure external entrances and other openings outside operating hours. Different finishes and colours allow the shutter to be considered alongside the appearance of the property.
Loading Bays and Service Entrances
Where goods are regularly moved into and out of a building, a motorised roller shutter can provide a convenient way to open and secure the entrance. For particularly busy openings, it may also be worth considering whether a high speed door would better suit the frequency of traffic.
Traditional Roller Shutters or High Speed Doors?
Traditional roller shutters and high speed doors are designed to meet different operational needs. A traditional shutter is often selected for security, durable construction and controlled access to a building. It may be opened at the start of a working period and closed when the premises are no longer in use. High speed roller shutter doors and fabric rolling doors are generally more suited to openings used repeatedly throughout the day, where faster operating cycles can help reduce waiting times and limit air exchange. If security is your main concern, a traditional steel roller shutter may be appropriate. Where traffic flow or temperature control is the priority, one of our high speed door systems may be worth considering. Amyco manufactures traditional shutters alongside SMART high speed fabric zip doors, so we can discuss the available options according to how your premises operate.
