When it comes to securing your property, not every application requires a heavy-duty industrial shutter. For smaller openings, indoor spaces, or areas where aesthetics matter, the Lightweight Roller Shutter from Security Direct offers an ideal balance of affordability, practicality, and protection — starting from just £327.
Perfect for retail kiosks, office receptions, and internal security barriers, this shutter provides reliable protection against opportunistic theft and vandalism while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance. In this article, we’ll explore the key features, benefits, and applications of the Lightweight Roller Shutter, and compare it with our Compact Aluminium Roller Shutter, which offers enhanced security starting at £372.
Starting at just £327, the Lightweight Roller Shutter is one of the most affordable security solutions on the market. Designed with budget-conscious businesses in mind, it offers reliable protection without compromising on quality — ideal for internal or low-risk applications.
This makes it an excellent choice for small business owners, shopfitters, and commercial tenants who need everyday protection without breaking the bank.
Made from extruded aluminium, the curtain profile is light but strong enough to resist tampering and casual forced entry. This not only makes installation easier but also reduces strain on the motor or manual crank, improving long-term reliability.
Thanks to its slim-line design, the Lightweight Shutter rolls up into a compact housing, ideal for areas with limited headroom — such as reception counters, kiosks, and internal windows.
Choose between manual spring-and-lock operation or electric motor operation with remote or key switch control. For higher convenience, the motorised version can be integrated with building management systems for seamless control.
Available in a range of powder-coated colours to match your interior or brand identity. The smooth aluminium slats offer a clean, professional look suitable for customer-facing environments.
The shutter operates quietly and smoothly, making it suitable for indoor use in offices, schools, or shopping centres where noise reduction is important.
The Lightweight Roller Shutter is highly adaptable and can be used in a wide range of applications:
Whether you’re a shop owner or facilities manager, this shutter provides an elegant, practical solution where lightweight protection is all that’s needed.
If you require a higher level of security, Security Direct’s Compact Aluminium Roller Shutter (from £372) is the next step up.
This model offers enhanced strength and improved resistance to forced entry while maintaining a compact design. It’s perfect for external use or high-traffic commercial environments.
Made from stronger double-skinned aluminium slats for better protection
