Industrial Fabric Roller Shutters and Windbreak Screens are designed to reduce wind, rain, and weather exposure while maintaining airflow, visibility, and operational efficiency.
They are used where traditional steel roller shutters are impractical or counter-productive — particularly in large, frequently accessed, or ventilated industrial environments.
Installed and supported by Security Direct, specialists in industrial roller shutters and door systems.
Industrial fabric roller shutters use high-strength technical fabrics that roll vertically like a conventional shutter but are engineered to:
They are an ideal solution where environmental control is required without fully sealing the building envelope.
Industrial fabric roller shutters are typically specified when:
They are not intended as a security or fire-rated shutter, and are often used alongside traditional industrial shutters in the same facility.
These environments benefit from reduced wind exposure while retaining airflow and light.
To keep selection straightforward, we offer three proven fabric-based industrial solutions:
Best for:
Exposed elevations, open-sided industrial buildings, plant enclosures
Function:
Reduces wind and rain while allowing controlled airflow.
Benefits:
Best for:
Loading bays, vehicle entrances, high-traffic openings
Function:
Provides rapid closure of large openings with flexible weather protection.
Benefits:
Best for:
Warehouses, factories, processing areas
Function:
Creates flexible internal barriers to manage airflow, dust, and temperature.
Benefits:
| Steel Roller Shutters | Fabric Roller Shutters |
|---|---|
| Fully seal the opening | Reduce wind, allow airflow |
| Security-focused | Environment-focused |
| Block daylight | Allow natural light |
| Heavy and rigid | Lightweight and flexible |
| Best for protection | Best for operational flow |
Many industrial sites use a combination of both solutions depending on the function of each opening.
We apply industrial standards to every fabric shutter and screen we install.
If wind, weather, or airflow are affecting safety or productivity, an industrial fabric roller shutter may be the right solution.
