London Sliding Folding Security Shutters
If you have a building project in London and need a security shutter installed, but a traditional roller shutter won't work, have a look at FlexiGlide sliding shutters. These security shutters can span any width, follow curves and fold away completely when not in use.
FlexiGlide sliding shutters are extremely versatile and can be stacked away to the side or into a custom built box. With such a setup you wouldn't even know a security shutter was there when it's open; there's nothing to be seen apart from a top-track, which sits above eye-level and is only 48mm high anyway.

The advantages of sliding security shutters
Compared to traditional roller shutters there are several advantages to FlexiGlide sliding folding security shutters. These are a sliding shutter's main advantages compared to a roller shutter:
- A sliding shutter can be made to any width, whereas roller shutters are typically limited to around 7 metres maximum.
- Sliding shutters require minimal headroom. The top-track is only a couple of inches high (48mm to be precise) and can be fitted into a rebated piece of timber if desired.
- Sliding shutters fold away horizontally, so again they don't need space above them to roll into. Instead they go to the side where they typically get stored in a custom built box.
- Sliding shutters work manually; without a motor. So they don't need electricity to operate.
- FlexiGlide sliding shutters work without the need for a bottom track. So there is nothing on the floor for people to trip over.

Sliding shutters at London's airports
We've installed sliding shutters at many airports worldwide and have all the qualifications to work airside. Sliding shutters are ideal for airport restaurants and shops, because these areas are often open-plan with wide, curved openings that need securing when not in use.

Closing thoughts
As a designer, builder, shopfitter or architect it can be hard to come up with the right type of security shutter. There are many factors to consider: price, suitability, aesthetics, regulations, practicality. We believe that our sliding folding shutters do well in all those areas. And so we think that a sliding shutter can be the right choice in many situations.
