Recent storms in the UK have highlighted the need for sturdy, wind resistant roller shutters. As the perfect solution for high wind, these are suitable for use in commercial, industrial and domestic applications. These shutters can prevent damage by withstanding gale-force winds up to 100mph.
All of our roller shutters are:
These shutters are also well suited for aircraft hangers as they act well to offer protection from the high wind speed generated by helicopters. These shutters minimise rattle with their wind lock end caps, reducing noise and adding security by protecting the sides of the lath.

Our wind-resistant shutters will not only protect your property from gale-force winds and constant rattling during periods of high wind, but they will also provide extra security protection.
In environments where wind is a constant issue or even in situations where ‘intermittent buffering’ is a concern, we offer a solution in the form of our wind resistant / wind lock shutter doors, suitable for use in domestic, commercial or industrial situations. Our wind resistant roller shutter doors can prevent damage by withstanding gale force winds of up to 100mph. In addition to the security and wind resistant features, the ‘wind lock end caps’ help eliminate rattle, minimising annoying noise – and have the added benefit of enhancing security by protecting the sides of the lath.
Although primarily designed to protect an area against high winds, these shutters are also useful for air hangers, where they can offer protection from the gusts generated by helicopters. As with all of our shutters, a wide range of finishes and sizes are available.
As our wind-resistant shutters are made to order in a range of different resistances based on your needs, the curtain may be manufactured in a number of different ways and using a number of different materials. However, in a general sense, a dense insulating material to provide weight and thermal insulation fill each lath, which is then connected to another lath using a secure and “minimum movement”, continually interlocking system.
Vertical guides are formed from rolled steel into a double rebate and are fitted with twin full-height brush seals which help to keep the wind out.
Mild steel of appropriate thickness in relation to door thickness is prime painted and supplied with angles for fixing to the structure.
Our barrels are normally made from a seamless steel tube of adequate diameter to counteract deflection and hold in bearings or cups attached to the end plates.
Comes galvanised with non-galvanised parts prime painted as standard. Customers can choose to have a powder coating of almost any colour as an additional extra.
Depending on size, the shutter will be operated by a single-phase, or 3-phase motor.
Our range of wind-resistant shutters can prevent damage from high winds up to 100mph. If you’re looking for protection from typhoons, take a look at our S-Flex-S regular speed shutter, it protects against very high winds, hurricanes and typhoons.
Yes, our smaller sized wind-resistant shutters can be used for protecting windows against pebbles and debris. These are often popular coastal areas, especially homes on the coastline where wind speeds can be exceptionally high.

Our wind-resistant shutters come with non-galvanised parts prime painted as standard. F you’re looking for a specific colour, we can provide powder coating at an additional cost. Take a look at our RAL colour chart to see the wide variety of colours available.
All of our roller shutters come with a manufacturers warranty of 1 year, this can be extended with regular servicing and maintenance by our team of engineers. This would need to be done at least once a year in order to extend the warranty. We offer servicing and maintenance plans if you want to ensure you don’t miss a yearly service.
