Today most businesses are built almost entirely out of glass and metal, a stark contrast from the way buildings were made in the past with mainly brick and mortar. One reason for this is to appear more appealing, attractive or welcoming to prospective customers. This is the positive outcome most businesses are looking for.
On the other hand, all this appeal can also attract other more unpleasant individuals that may have more insidious plans other than to purchase products or services from these glass encased businesses. And that’s where security shutters come in.
No matter how strong or thick the glass is, chances are they are still very easy to break into. A considerable amount of force either concentrated through a specific point in a small tool or using a vehicle as a battering ram can cause enough damage to shatter glass. Purchasing high impact glass that can withstand anything short of a nuclear blast is also very costly and above the means of a small business. Once these transparent barriers are down, nothing will stop perpetrators from taking anything of value from your establishment.
So how can you solve this dilemma?
That’s easy! Security shutters have been in existence since the 70s and have helped protect businesses from vandals or burglars for decades! Nowadays, with the availability of superior technology and the development of lightweight, extra strong and affordable metals, security shutters have become smaller, lighter and more unobtrusive. In effect, they have become almost invisible security measures for any business in the world!
Gone are the days when these shutters were a necessary and yet ugly addition to a store or office. With numerous companies providing these security shutters, customization to fit one’s personal taste and needs have become a norm. And another thing, with the form factor, these shutters have evolved to be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Another improvement these shutters have had is the absence to strain every time you want to activate them. In the past, owners had to manually roll them down and lock them in place. Not anymore! With automated shutters, you can just activate a switch and these things will magically roll down! Or you can even set a designated time for it to close so that it will automatically come down for you and lock itself into place either by magnetically latching into place or by the use of very durable bolts!
Oh and don’t worry you can still purchase the much more cost efficient manual shutters if you just need the basic protection. Good thing light weight, durable metals are now available so that every time you need to close down won’t be comparable to doing heavy lifting at the gym!
In conclusion, these security shutters have been improved over the years and are now considered a vital addition in securing your investment from would be criminals from taking all your hard earned profit. And with these improvements also come better durability, more aesthetically pleasing features and ease of use, not to mention a more cost efficient price tag!
