The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC)’s range of security shutters offers customers the option of incorporating overhead protective pelmet covers when installed on their commercial, retail and industrial premises.
For internal applications, these slimline finished pelmet covers are ideal where the shutters are installed below the finished ceiling line, and in this way they conceal the otherwise unsightly exposed drum roll.
On external installations, these hoods not only protect the shutters from the effects of weathering, but they also offer a greater degree of security by preventing the drum roll from being tampered with.
The hood, which is fabricated from aluminium, effectively seals off the shutter and thereby also makes it more resistant to vermin entering the premises through the drum roll.
The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC) has been operating successfully for 40 years, is family-owned, with national representation. The company is fully licensed and insured to operate, and all our technicians are fully licensed.

Overhead pelmet covers conceal the unsightly exposed drum roll, and protect shutters from weathering on external installations. They also prevent drum tampering for enhanced security and block vermin entry by sealing the shutter mechanism.
Pelmet covers suit retail, industrial, and commercial premises where aesthetics matter internally, or weather protection is needed externally, particularly for shopfronts, counters, and high-traffic areas requiring both security and clean architectural integration.
Pelmet covers are offered as optional extras across certain products in The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC)’s range of security shutters, such as the RS3 heavy duty version with slimline designs specifically engineered for various roller shutter profiles to ensure compatibility and seamless installation.
Pelmet covers are fabricated from aluminium, with powder coating options.
No, pelmet covers integrate seamlessly with shutter operation while enhancing security by preventing access to the drum roll and maintaining smooth functionality.
