Welcome to Redwood Shopfront
Perforated and punched roller shutters are ideal when you want security without “shutting down” the look of your business. At Redwood Shopfronts, we design, supply and install see-through security shutters for shops, showrooms and commercial units across London.
Perforated and punched shutters are security roller shutters with built-in openings in the slats. They allow passers-by to see into your shop front while still providing a strong barrier against forced entry.
At Redwood Shopfront, we supply and install high-quality perforated and punched roller shutters across London, designed for retail shops, showrooms, garages, and commercial properties that want protection with openness.
These shutters are commonly installed on retail shopfronts where you want customers to still see your display after hours, in shopping centres and arcades where an open feel matters while staying secure, and on kiosks or concessions that need a quick, tidy close-down. We supply several configurations to match different security and visibility levels.
Perforated shutters work well for high-street locations, shopping arcades and car parks where you want a secure barrier but don’t want a completely solid wall.
Lots of smaller holes across the slat
Good visibility into displays
Great airflow and light transmission
Popular for high street retail and internal mall shutters
Punched roller shutters are an ideal choice for fashion stores, showrooms, salons, and branded retail units that want to stay visible after closing hours.
Larger “punched” holes (often a more open look)
Higher visibility and brightness inside the premises
Great when you want customers to see stock or signage even when closed
Optional clear glazing for added security and weather protection
