STUNNING CURVED SECURITY SHUTTERS FOR SEAMLESS LOCKUP

Kaisercraft Robina have installed ATDC’s curved security shutters at their most recent QLD store opening. And the result is quite stunning.

Robina Town Shopping Centre

ATDC’s market leading security shutters are specified throughout the retail tenancies at the QIC owned Robina Town Shopping Centre. They can be seen throughout the site across storefronts, protecting stock and employees with bespoke, functional, and aesthetic solutions.

 

ATDC’s S08 Curved Security Shutters

This visually impressive and user friendly installation of ATDC’s S08 curved security shutters is completed in a professional black satin powdercoated finish. It spans a width of 9000mm at a height of 4100mm and traverses a 90 degree angle over a 600mm radius curve.

With a series of intermediate up/down locking mechanisms, Kaisercraft is able to achieve a quick and effective seamless lockup without any floor track and without the need for any overly cumbersome removeable mullions. Security like this is ideal for retail sites.

A Tricky Security Challenge Figured Out by ATDC

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has also installed edgy, folding curved security shutters for The Body Shop at Robina Town Centre at the Gold Coast.

A Major Brand

The Body Shop is owned by Brazilian company Natura. It is a global cosmetics, skincare and perfume company and has in excess of 3000 stores in more than 66 countries.

 

ATDC Trusted Throughout Shopping Centres

ATDC’s curved folding security shutters have been specified at multiple tenancies as retail shopfront doors throughout this QIC owned shopping centre. Working closely with well renowned project managers Ramvek, ATDC completed this installation under tight deadlines and with some challenging obstacles. Ramvek have a long history of quality fitouts for many prestigious local and international brands.

 

Challenges from this Project

A primary challenge was the requirement for a special green colour powdercoated finish, which is company policy for all Body Shop stores across the globe. There is no precise Australian Dulux powdercoat equivalent for this special green colour, and hence ATDC could not source this colour locally.

ATDC had to send each individual metal link for the folding security shutters from their Sydney factory down to Ramvek’s Melbourne warehouse to be put through Ramvek’s powdercoating facility to apply the special powdercoat finish. These myriad individual metal components had to then be freighted back to ATDC for reassembly in Sydney. Piece by individual piece!

 

Allowing for Full Customisability

Naturally, this process took some time, creating additional time pressures on ATDC, given the fact that sizing for these folding security shutters had to be determined well in advance of the store being built. Here again, Ramvek’s professionalism came to the fore with their detailed CAD drawings of the planned store design and layout, which were supplied in advance to ATDC.

ATDC had to make further allowances and adjustments (again in advance of obtaining final dimensions) to the height of these shutters since the new store was to have sloping floors, the exact height and gradient of which would only be able to be determined precisely once the finished floor was actually laid.

 

Difficulties Faced with Precision

This created numerous potential difficulties, for example, with being able to achieve effective lock-up of the store since the up/down locking mechanisms had to get sufficient purchase into the floor at various intervals. Extended floor throw bolts were developed by ATDC to achieve up to a 100mm fall in the finished floor level.

A Stunning Result

ATDC was able to perfectly match the special radius curves for these shutters again by following the arc as depicted in Ramvek’s CAD drawings. The final result of the installation of these S08 model curved folding security shutters was quite  incredible. All of the challenging requirements were met and well on time for handover of the store to the customer for trading.
