The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) is proud to have participated in the recent upgrade at Springetts Arcade, a landmark historical commercial building in Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands that used transparent roller shutters.

TRANSPARENT ROLLER SHUTTERS CAN BENEFIT MANY BUSINESS TYPES

Springetts Arcade is an institution in Bowral opened in 1972 and is still in the hands of its original owners, the Springett Family.

With 50 stores within the arcade, The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) had to come up with shutter solutions that would work well for a wide range of stores, offering accessibility, security, and aesthetic value. It’s also a historic building, meaning care had to be taken in the design and installation to keep the arcade’s antique value.

 

The Roller Shutter Project:

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) were engaged by Mark Springett, the current proprietor, to design, supply and install its market-leading transparent roller shutters to all tenancies throughout the ground floor in the property’s recent upgrade.

When project managing a transparent roller shutter installation, especially in a large property such as this, which is both street-facing and with many shops inside, clever planning has to go into the design choices to ensure aesthetics that not only wow but are appropriate for a commercial setting.

 

What We Used:

These roller shutters are attractive and elegant and capable of spanning an aperture of 5.5m wide x 4m high. The translucent feature allows shoppers and passers-by a full view of the merchandise on display in the retail tenancies even when these stores are locked and closed.

Trellis doors bring a warmth and cosmopolitan feel to the entire property, which few other commercial closures can achieve. The experts at The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) guided the owners towards this decision that resulted in an excellent finish after our expert installation.

In a recent installation, The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) proudly introduced its cutting-edge RS7 transparent clearvision roller shutters at the new Terry White Pharmacy in Cleveland, Queensland.

These commercial roller shutters not only enhance security but also contribute to the modern aesthetic of contemporary businesses.

Commercial Transparent Roller Shutters Great for Modern Storefronts

Unveiling the Modern Storefront Solution

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC)’s RS7 transparent clearvision roller shutters are a testament to the intersection of security and aesthetics. These sleek and stylish roller shutters are designed exclusively for electric operation, providing a seamless and convenient security solution for commercial spaces.

 

Advanced Features for Maximum Security

Equipped with heavy-duty key switches, these roller shutters prioritize security without compromising on user convenience. The inclusion of UPS battery backups ensures a fail-safe mechanism in case of power failures, guaranteeing continuous operation and security even in challenging situations.

The RS7 roller shutters boast an impressive capability, spanning a maximum width of 5500mm x 4000mm high. The heavy-duty 229 spiral welded spring-balanced drum is a carefully engineered component, designed to efficiently carry the weight of the overhead drum, ensuring durability and reliability.

 

Transparent Design for Enhanced Visibility

One of the standout features of the RS7 roller shutter is its transparent polycarbonate infills. These infills are strategically supported between horizontal aluminium extrusions, allowing maximum through-vision.

This design not only provides security but also allows natural light to filter through, creating an inviting and open atmosphere within the commercial space for staff. Moreover, the transparency allows potential customers to look inside the store even once it’s closed (or before opening), tempting them to return later.

 

Project Showcase: Terry White Pharmacy, Cleveland

The successful implementation of the RS7 roller shutters at the Terry White Pharmacy in Cleveland was managed by Interior Fitouts Pty Ltd, a reputable interior fit-out company based in Banyo, Queensland. This project serves as a real-world example of the seamless integration of The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC)’s innovative roller shutters into modern commercial environments.
