- Punched galvanised slat, mixed options
- Openings to 6 000mm wide
Perforated shutters solve a specific Sandton 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 rather than a screen.
Where perforated roller shutter doors suit Sandton premises
- Shopfronts in the retail centres and along the CBD streets, where a display should still read after close.
- Showrooms in Wynberg and along Rivonia Road, where stock is part of the marketing.
- Ventilated stores and plant enclosures, where airflow is required but the opening must be 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 will 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 appearance at night. The gauge of the slat matters more than the hole size, and that is where we would rather you spend the money.
Security expectations for perforated roller shutter doors
Be clear with yourself 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 in Sandton we would generally recommend a solid curtain, or a solid curtain behind the display line, and we will say so at survey instead of 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. It is worth checking the shopfront lighting circuit at the same time, because a dark display behind a punched curtain reads exactly like a solid one and you have paid extra for nothing.
