Window Shutters

Our product range has been developed in Britain to provide an architecturally acceptable answer to the growing demand for vandalism and burglary protection on domestic, commercial and retail properties. 

The uniquely neat finish of the Seceuro range of security window shutters is particularly evident when they are built-on to an existing building with compact aluminium boxes, styled to minimise their visual impact.

The slimline finish makes internal fitting of window shutters a frequent choice. Our continuous programme of product development has produced a shutter of exceptional strength for small to medium size apertures.

Installations nationally protect windows and doors on city centre, suburban and rural homes, offices, sports centres, computer rooms and golf clubs.
In short, any building where security is a concern.

Swivel/geared belt Shutters are raised and lowered from inside by a belt.Depending on shutter size the belt is operated manually or by geared crank handle.This is a lower security option.Rod crank Shutters are raised and lowered from inside by a geared rod crank winding handle which hangs down vertically underneath the box and secures on a clip when not in use.Spring loaded For external operation on exit doors, shutters can be spring loaded with a transverse key lock in the bottom slat. Also a popular option for a bar, servery, counter, cabinet and kiosk applications. (N.B. The bottom slat projects below the shutter when fully raised, check that this will not obstruct outward opening doors)
Electric Motors are required on larger shutters and are optional on smaller shutters. Tubular motors fit inside the axle and require a 3 amp fuse. Operation is by rocker switch, key switch or remote control. A manual override can be specified to operate from inside. Where desirable a manual override can also be engaged through the outside of an externally fitted shutter box. Under these circumstances a lockable override cover is available as an optional extra to maximise security. Multi-shutter electric installations can be wired to operate from a central or group switches. Ask for further details. Care should be taken to ensure that such installations are in line with current Health and Safety legislation. Users must be instructed to operate electric shutters with care, particularly when lowering. Check that the shutter operates smoothly when lowering, do not leave running unattended and damage occurs to the shutter any guarantee is void.Clear instruction must be given to users on the manual override winding direction to raise the shutter. Winding the shutter downwards beyond the normal stop point will damage the shutter.
A shutter up to 5sqm/50kg typically draws 1.1A/240WA shutter up to 10 sqm/100kg typically draws 1.5A/320W
Tubular motors have a thermal cut out to prevent overheating after approximately four minutes of continuous running. This may cut in while setting limit switches: wait 15-30 minutes then restart the motor.
All power-operated shutters are supplied with full CE marking documentation to assist in compliance with:The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
The shutter box, guide rail and bottom slat are typically powder coated in white or dark brown as standard. The shutter slats come in a variety of colours depending on the product. Please refer to the table opposite for more details. Standard R>A>L> or BS colours are also available at a surcharge on most products.
All shutters are individually made to customer’s sizes and specifications to maximise security. Maximum sizes may alter depending upon the application, wind loading or whether installed as a secondary or sole opening closure.
Window shutters primarily require keeping clean, particularly on city centre or coastal installations. Commercial installations should have a maintenance check every year. The guarantee period on all shutters is 18 months and covers replacement parts only. External key operated locks require frequent lubrication (light grade SAE oil)
A locking device operates automatically when the shutter is fully lowered. Spring assisted shutters are fitted with a key lock fitted centrally in the bottom slat. Burglary assistance can be further enhanced by the use of bullet locks. Reinforcing angle on the cill for the shutter to sit down behind is recommended on wide or vulnerable installations. Extruded slats are utilised for optimum security.
Shutters can be stopped at any point to be used for shading (with the exception of spring operated shutters). This is enhanced by the optional light slits on the foam filled CD 150 slats. When the shutter is fully closed it is effectively a blackout blind.
The K value of a double glazed window fitted with a foam filled shutter is further improved by 35% from 1.8 to 2.6 w/m2 K. The improvement is virtually the same with an extended slat. These products can also be used to reduce unwanted background noise.
Detailed installation instructions are available for each shutter type; installation and supply are carried out by approved installers.
The shutter can be installed around the reveal or in the reveal, internally or externally, depending on the window/door configuration and client preference. The following pages detail the sizing and layout options for each type of built-on shutter operation. Each has technical advantages and limitations, particularly on maximum sizes. All shutters require a cill or flat solid floor to close down onto. On new build projects we recommend built-in shutters, details of which are available in a separate brochure.
