Security Direct’s Commercial & Industrial Roller Screens offer a versatile solution for warehouses, factories, and commercial facilities. These heavy-duty fabric roller screens function like rapid-opening doors, combining the benefits of ventilation and natural light with protection against harsh weather and pests. By using high-strength mesh or reinforced PVC fabrics, they let fresh air and daylight through while keeping out rain, wind, dust, and insects. The result is a more comfortable, productive environment – ideal for loading bays, production areas, and storage buildings that need airflow without compromising on protection.
The permeable mesh design maintains excellent airflow, allowing fresh air to circulate through your facility. This helps regulate temperature and reduce humidity while still keeping the workspace enclosed. Even with the screen closed, you can ventilate naturally without leaving a gaping doorway open, which is especially useful in hot or dusty operations. By containing dust and fumes, the screens help improve indoor air quality and worker comfort.
Unlike solid metal shutters, these roller screens can use translucent materials or open-weave mesh that allow daylight to filter in, reducing the need for artificial lighting. The high-performance mesh fabrics provide a much greater level of light transmission than traditional solid doors, all while stopping the worst of the weather from entering. Your facility stays bright and airy, improving visibility and morale.
Designed for fast access, the screens open and close in seconds. Manual models use spring-assisted chain drives that can be opened at about 2 seconds per metre of door height – far quicker than wrestling with a heavy conventional door. Electric models are equipped with powerful motors for rapid opening (typically around 7–9 seconds per metre depending on the model). This quick action minimizes downtime and keeps high-traffic areas running smoothly, which is crucial for busy loading docks or production lines.
When closed, the roller screen acts as a robust barrier against wind, rain, and dust. The tough PVC-coated fabrics and optional wind bars ensure the screen stays secure even in high winds. By stopping driving rain and gusts, the screens protect equipment and goods near doorways. An integrated Flyseal or brush strip can further seal gaps, preventing ingress of insects, birds and debris. This keeps your environment cleaner and helps maintain consistent indoor conditions – no more leaves, litter or pests blowing into your facility during bad weather.
Engineered for industrial use, our roller screens are extremely robust. The fabric curtain is made from PVC-coated polyester with tensile strengths up to 5 tonnes per meter, making it tear-resistant, rot-proof and UV-stabilized for long service life. The screen material flexes on impact rather than denting, so it can better withstand accidental bumps from equipment or vehicles. Galvanised steel guides and optional reinforcement bars provide additional strength, holding the fabric taut against wind pressure. These heavy-duty components ensure reliable operation in demanding environments year after year.
Our roller screens are available in both manual and automatic electric configurations to suit different operational needs:
Ideal for low to moderate traffic openings or where power is not readily available. Manual screens use a spring-assisted chain drive for ease of lifting – even large screens can be opened with minimal effort thanks to the counterbalanced spring mechanism. This option is cost-effective and simple, with no electrical hookup required. Choose manual operation for areas with occasional use (e.g. a storage shed or rarely used bay) or when you want the quickest installation. Despite the manual operation, these screens still open remarkably fast and provide all the airflow and protection benefits of the range.
Best suited for high-traffic doorways, frequent access points, or larger openings where automated convenience is desired. Electric roller screens come equipped with reliable motors and can be opened via a push-button control or remote transmitter. The motorized system offers effortless operation – staff can open the screen without leaving their vehicle or station, improving efficiency. Opening speeds are rapid (approximately 7–9 seconds per metre, model-dependent) to allow quick vehicle passage. For intensive use scenarios (such as busy loading docks or production lines), electric screens ensure consistent, easy operation all day long. They also include safety features like manual override in case of power failure. Overall, choose an electric screen for larger doors, high-frequency use, or whenever hands-free operation and speed are priorities.
Commercial & Industrial Roller Screens are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of settings. Some ideal applications include:
Use roller screens on large exterior doorways or between production zones. They allow ventilation and natural light into the work area while keeping the door opening secure from contaminants. For example, in manufacturing plants these screens can reduce dust transfer between different process areas and provide insect control without hindering access. Employees can enjoy fresh air circulation, helping to regulate temperatures and exhaust fumes, which is particularly valuable in welding shops, chemical facilities, or any shop floor that heats up.
Install roller screens at loading dock entrances, delivery bays, or any indoor/outdoor transition point. The screen acts like a dynamic barrier that you can leave “closed” until a truck arrives, maintaining an optimal indoor climate. It shields your loading bay from wind gusts and rain, so you can keep working in bad weather. When a vehicle needs to load or unload, simply roll up the screen in seconds to provide full access. This improves energy efficiency and cleanliness by not leaving large bay doors standing open to the elements. The high wind-resistance of our screens means they stay operational even in exposed locations or during stormy conditions.
Roller screens are perfect for creating flexible partitions inside large buildings. If you have an open-plan warehouse or factory, you can divide sections with roller screens to contain dust, noise, or temperature differences while still allowing airflow between zones. Unlike solid walls or shutters, screens won’t create a dark or stuffy partition – air and light can flow through freely. This makes them ideal for spray painting areas, sanding/grinding zones, or any process that you want to isolate without completely sealing off. The screens can be quickly opened to move materials or to revert to a larger open space when needed, giving you tremendous operational flexibility.
In facilities where hygiene and pest control are paramount, such as food production plants, distribution warehouses, or agricultural storage buildings, roller screens serve as excellent food-safe partitions. They keep birds, rodents, and insects out of critical areas while allowing ventilation to prevent condensation and odours. For example, you might separate a packaging area from an outdoor loading dock with a roller screen – maintaining an air barrier that stops flies and debris from entering the clean zone. The screen materials are non-toxic and washable, suitable for maintaining sanitary conditions. Double-skin insulated screens can also help comply with temperature requirements for chilled or frozen goods by minimising thermal exchange when doors are closed. In short, these screens offer hygienic environmental control for any industry that needs clean air and protection from contamination.
With their combination of resilience and adaptability, Security Direct’s roller screens can be tailored to almost any commercial or industrial scenario – from large warehouse entrances up to 10m wide to smaller workshop doorways. Every screen is made-to-measure for your opening and installed by our experienced team to ensure optimal performance. If you need fast, reliable access plus environmental protection, our Commercial & Industrial Roller Screens deliver the best of both worlds.
