The Vortex + shutters were presented as the patented lath design allows the security shutter to roll more compactly.
Vortex + shutters reduce the roll size by 50% compared to a standard shutter and have a self-locking capability, as well as LPS 1175 certification from the independent Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
The front glass was being continually broken after closing hours, and security shutters were the most obvious solution. However, as the building is located in the shadow of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the City of London Corporation was concerned about the visual impact of shutters.
Vortex + was their optimal solution, giving them the security they needed while still meeting the aesthetic standards required by the local council.
