Collection: Bar Roller Shutters

Bar roller shutters are available in several designs to suit different security levels, layouts, and operating requirements. Choosing the right type depends on whether the priority is maximum protection, visibility, ventilation, or fire safety.

Solid Bar Roller Shutters

Solid roller shutters provide the highest level of security and privacy. They are ideal for external doors, rear access points, and high risk locations where protection against forced entry and vandalism is critical.

Perforated Roller Shutters

Perforated shutters feature small punched holes that allow light, airflow, and limited visibility while still offering strong security. These are commonly used on front entrances or serving areas where a balance between security and appearance is required.

Punched (Vision) Roller Shutters

Punched roller shutters have larger vision panels, making them suitable for bars that want to display the interior or branding even when closed. They are often used internally or on customer facing elevations.

Fire Rated Roller Shutters

Fire rated servery shutters are designed to prevent the spread of fire from bar or kitchen areas into other parts of the building. These shutters are commonly required in commercial premises and can be linked to fire alarm systems for automatic closure.

Internal Bar Shutters

Internal roller shutters are used to secure serving counters, cellar access points, or storage areas within the venue. They help control access after hours while remaining discreet during trading.

Each type of bar roller shutter can be customised with different finishes, colours, and operation methods to suit the specific needs of the venue.

Bar roller shutters can be fully customised to suit the style, layout, and operational needs of pubs, bars, and licensed venues. From discreet internal shutters to customer facing installations, design choices ensure security does not detract from the overall look and feel of the premises.

Our Shutters are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including powder coated options to match branding, décor, or exterior facades. Perforated and punched designs allow visibility and airflow, helping maintain an open, welcoming appearance when the bar is closed, while solid shutters provide a more concealed, high security solution.

Operation can be manual or electrically powered, with options for wall switches, key switches, remote controls, or integration with access control and fire alarm systems. Shutters can also be designed to fit non-standard openings, serving hatches, or curved bar fronts, ensuring a tailored solution that works seamlessly with the venue’s layout and day to day operation.

Bar roller shutters are used across a wide range of applications within pubs, bars, clubs, and hospitality venues, providing reliable security without disrupting daily operations. They can be installed both externally and internally to protect high risk areas and control access.

Front Entrances and Customer Access Points

Roller shutter Doors are commonly installed over main entrances to secure the premises after hours. Perforated or punched designs allow visibility into the bar while maintaining strong protection against vandalism and forced entry.

Serving Counters and Bar Areas

Internal bar roller shutters are ideal for securing serving counters when the venue is closed or during specific trading hours. They are widely used in shared venues, event spaces, and hotel bars to control access without permanent barriers.

Windows and Glazed Areas

Bar roller shutters can be fitted over windows and glazed elevations to protect against breakins, especially in town centres and night time economy zones where vandalism risk is higher.

Cellar Doors and Storage Areas

Solid roller shutters are often used to secure cellar entrances, stock rooms, and alcohol storage areas. These locations typically require higher security due to the value of stored goods.

External Service Hatches

For bars with outdoor serving hatches or takeaway style service windows, roller shutters provide a secure and practical solution when not in use.

Fire Protection Zones

Fire rated roller shutters can be used to compartmentalise bar areas, kitchens, and escape routes, helping prevent the spread of fire and supporting compliance with commercial fire safety regulations.

Each application can be tailored with the appropriate shutter type, finish, and operation method to meet the specific security and compliance needs of the venue.

Bar roller shutters are designed to meet the demanding security and operational needs of pubs, bars, and licensed venues. They combine strength, reliability, and flexibility to protect people, property, and stock.

Enhanced Security

Manufactured from robust steel or aluminium, bar roller shutters provide a strong physical barrier against theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access, particularly in high risk night time economy locations.

High Usage Reliability

Designed for frequent opening and closing, bar roller shutters are ideal for venues with daily trading hours and late night operation. Electric options reduce staff effort and ensure consistent operation.

Visibility and Ventilation Options

Perforated and punched shutter designs allow light, airflow, and visibility while still maintaining security, helping bars appear open, safe, and welcoming even when closed.

Fire Safety Integration

Fire rated servery shutters can be linked to fire alarm systems, automatically closing in the event of a fire to help contain smoke and flames and support regulatory compliance.

Custom Fit and Appearance

Shutters can be made to measure for doors, windows, serving hatches, and internal bar areas, with a wide choice of colours and finishes to complement the venue’s branding and design.

Access Control and Automation

Bar roller shutters can be operated via switches, key controls, remotes, or integrated with building management and access control systems for improved security and ease of use.

Long-Term Durability

Built for commercial environments, bar roller shutters are low maintenance and designed for long service life, providing a cost effective security solution for hospitality venues.

Bar roller shutters must meet strict safety and compliance standards to ensure they are safe for staff, customers, and the public. When correctly specified and installed, they support legal compliance for pubs, bars, and licensed premises.

All electrically operated bar roller shutters should comply with UKCA / CE marking requirements, the Machinery Directive, and BS EN 13241, which governs the safety and performance of industrial and commercial doors. Safety features such as anti-fall devices, emergency stop controls, and safe hold to run operation are essential, particularly in customer facing areas.

Where shutters are installed on escape routes or near exits, careful design is required to avoid obstructing means of escape. In these situations, fire rated roller shutters or fail-safe systems may be required, and shutters should never compromise fire evacuation plans.

Fire rated servery shutters must comply with relevant fire resistance standards and are often linked to the building’s fire alarm system to close automatically in the event of a fire. Regular servicing and documented maintenance are critical to maintaining compliance, especially in high usage hospitality environments where shutters are operated daily.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure bar roller shutters operate safely, reliably, and in full compliance with UK regulations, particularly in busy hospitality environments. Shutters must be accurately surveyed, securely fixed, and correctly commissioned to suit the high usage demands of pubs, bars, and licensed venues.

Bar roller shutters can be installed externally or internally over doors, windows, serving hatches, and bar counters. Electric roller shutters require suitable power supplies and safe positioning of controls, while fire rated shutters may need integration with the building’s fire alarm system. All installations should comply with BS EN 13241 and include the required safety devices and handover documentation.

Supply Only and DIY Installation

Supply only bar roller shutters are available for customers who wish to use their own installers or carry out DIY installation. This option is typically suited to experienced contractors, as correct fixing, electrical connection, and safety setup are critical.

Fire rated and electrically operated shutters can be more complex to install and may still require specialist commissioning to remain compliant.

Maintenance and Servicing

Due to frequent daily operation, regular maintenance is essential. Bars are generally advised to have roller shutters serviced at least once per year, with high-usage or fire rated shutters often requiring more frequent inspections. Routine servicing helps prevent breakdowns, ensures ongoing compliance, and extends the lifespan of the shutter.

The cost of bar roller shutters varies depending on the level of security required, shutter type, size of the opening, and method of operation. Bars often require higher spec shutters due to frequent use and customer-facing locations, which can influence pricing.

Typical Price Ranges (Supply & Install):

• Manual Bar Roller Shutters: from £750 – £1,200
• Electric Bar Roller Shutters: from £1,100 – £2,000
• Perforated or Punched Roller Shutters: from £1,200 – £2,500
• Fire Rated Bar Roller Shutters: from £2,000 – £4,000+

Prices are based on a standard sized opening and include manufacture and installation. Larger openings, higher wind or security ratings, custom finishes, automation, and fire alarm integration will increase the overall cost.

Supply Only Pricing

Supply only or DIY bar roller shutters are available at a lower cost, typically starting from £500+, depending on specification. These are best suited to experienced installers, as incorrect fitting or wiring can affect safety and compliance.

For an accurate price, a site survey or detailed specification is recommended to ensure the shutter meets the security, safety, and operational needs of the venue.
