The Australian Trellis Door Company’s (ATDC) Permashield concertina shutters are gaining significant market penetration both in the commercial and retail markets.
Specsavers Project
The above photograph shows a recent installation at Specsavers Moonee Ponds, Victoria, which follows on from other installations for this global brand. Here, the project manager was from Australasian Retail Projects out of Queensland. The door was powder-coated in a special colour bright silver metallic finish, to meet the requirements of Moonee Ponds Central Shopping Centre.
What Did We Specify for the Project?
These quality, precision engineered permashield concertina doors are constructed from extruded aluminium panel sections with interlocking heavy duty hinges and roller bearings which allow the curtain to easily slide and retract whilst suspended from a heavy duty aluminium top track. Available in either a wide body 300mm panel or slimline section 150mm, the shutters are user friendly and look the goods with their smooth lines and sleek aesthetic design.
Ease of Use
They offer the operator seamless lock up options with intermediate up/down locking mechanisms and without the need for any floor track with its attendant trip hazard disadvantages. With maximum height at approximately 4500mm, curtain infill options include either 3mm polycarbonate, perforated mesh or solid aluminium depending on the application.
Curved configurations are quite a regular application including special radius turns and S-bends.
Why are They So Popular?
This quality product has gained the attention of many architectural specifiers for a range of different commercial and retail projects across the country. And with the confidence of ATDC’s 35 year successful trading record of outstanding service to back up its product range, customers are increasingly specifying these concertina shutters on prestigious projects.
What are Our Recent Projects?
ATDC is for instance currently working on three different university projects across Australia namely Australian National University’s Hancock Library in Canberra (specified by The Mill Design Co), Deakin University in Burwood, Melbourne (specified by Ian McEwan Designs) and the University of Geelong (specified by Baade Harbour Australia Architects).
ATDC’s market penetration in the retail industry is no less remarkable with installations for many national and international brands including Flight Centre, Napoleon Perdis, Ferrari, Gloria Jeans Coffee, DFS Duty Free (owned by LVMH), Specsavers and more.

Mentone Life Saving Club
ATDC’s first class folding permashield doors installed at Mentone Life Saving Club have assisted in maintaining the incredible ocean views at this stunning location at Beach Road, Melton, Victoria.
Suspended Tracking
Finished in a professional clear anodised coating in an effort to enhance the anti-corrosive qualities of this 300mm wide panel body door, and fabricated from extruded aluminium sections, this door is suspended from an overhead tracking system which runs the full span of the openings.
Kitchen and Bar
ATDC has installed two folding counter top doors at this location to secure both the kitchen and the bar area, and in both cases, the door folds back to the side and out of the way to leave an unobstructed opening span.
Project Manager
The project manager for this installation was Ireland Brown Constructions who are based in Camberwell, Victoria.
