Why use the Compact Aluminium Roller Shutter?

The RA4 Compact Aluminium Roller Shutter is one of our best-selling models—trusted across residential, commercial, and retail settings for its perfect blend of security, style, and space-saving design.

Crafted using twin-walled aluminium laths, this shutter delivers robust protection against intrusion while maintaining a minimal footprint. Its compact shutter box and slim guide channels make it the ideal choice for installations where headroom is restricted—such as shop fronts, reception counters, bars, kiosks, and domestic window and door openings.


Sleek Yet Secure

  •    High-Level Security: Built from durable aluminium with a twin-walled profile for added strength and resistance to tampering.
  •   Minimal Visual Impact: The compact casing ensures a clean, professional finish that integrates beautifully with modern architecture.
  •   Ideal for Tight Spaces: Perfect for environments where traditional shutters may not fit, including kitchens, bars, serveries, and retail counters.

Add Vision for Enhanced Visibility

Looking for more than just privacy and protection? The RA4 can be upgraded with perforated (22% vision) or punched (44% vision) slats, allowing natural light or product visibility while the shutter is closed—ideal for retail displays and hospitality counters.


Flexible Manual or Electric Operation

Choose from a range of control systems to suit your installation and daily use:

Manual Operation Options:

  •    Swivel Belt Winder – Ideal for small internal shutters.
  •   Rod Crank Handle – Smooth geared control for precise adjustment.
  •   Spring & Lock – Lift and secure the shutter with an integrated key lock.

Electric Operation & Smart Automation:

Make life easier with a motorised shutter:

  •    Operate with remote controls, wall switches, or keypads.
  •   Integrate with smart home hubs like Alexa, or set up timers and automation routines for hands-free control.

Custom Colour Finishes to Match Any Space

Your shutter should look as good as it performs. That’s why the RA4 comes powder coated in White, Brown, Black, or Cream as standard. Want to match your branding or decor? We offer custom powder coating in any BS or RAL colour, allowing you to fully personalise the finish.
