About the RS7 ClearVision Clear Roller Shutter
The RS7 ClearVision by The Australian Trellis Door Co is a commercial security roller shutter that solves a problem unique to retail: the need to be both physically secure and visually open after hours. Unlike solid roller shutters that block all sight lines, the RS7 combines a full physical barrier when the pelmet box is used — keeping out rain, dust, and vermin resistant— with clear polycarbonate slats that allow customers, security staff, and cameras to see directly into the store at all times.
Trusted by household retail names across Australia, the RS7 ClearVision is one of the most widely specified clear roller shutters for shopping centre shopfronts and streetfront retail tenancies. It is assembled in Australia to ATDC specifications.
RS7 ClearVision In Operation
The video above shows multiple RS7 ClearVision clear roller shutters opening in sequence on a retail shopfront. Each polycarbonate curtain ascends smoothly along the aluminium side guide channels, with the 85mm aluminium bottom rail lifting cleanly from the floor — no bottom track required. The full through-visibility of the clear polycarbonate slats is apparent both when the shutters are closed and as each one opens, allowing an unobstructed view into the store at all times. The motorised operation shown demonstrates the smooth, consistent performance of the Centris electric motor across multiple adjacent shopfront openings.

Who the RS7 ClearVision Is For — and Who It May Not Suit
| This product suits… | This may NOT be right if… |
|---|---|
| Retail shopfronts in shopping centres and other commercial applications where product display matters after hours | You need a fully opaque, solid barrier and visibility is not required |
| Food service counters and bar tops | Your opening exceeds 5,500mm and mullions are not suitable |
| Reception areas and shopping arcades | You need maximum security for a high-risk location (consider a heavier-duty product) |
| Any opening up to 5.5m wide (motorised) or 3m (manual) | Budget is the primary driver and through-visibility is not needed (a solid shutter may cost less) |
| Locations needing ventilation (punch-out slot option available) | You need motorised operation but have no 240V power supply available |
| Premises where CCTV and after-hours deterrence are priorities | In cases where there is little available headroom above the opening |
Real-World Use Case Scenarios
Scenario 1 — Shopping Centre Fashion Retailer: A clothing retailer in a major shopping centre needs to secure their 4-metre shopfront each night without hiding their window display. The RS7 ClearVision motorised shutter closes in seconds via key switch, creates a full physical barrier against rain, dust and intruders, and keeps the merchandise visible to passing shoppers and security staff all night.
Scenario 2 — Food Court Bar Counter: A licensed bar in a shopping centre food court needs to secure a 2.5-metre counter opening at closing time. The RS7 manual shutter with mid-rail locking secures the counter quickly, ventilation slots keep air circulating, and the clear polycarbonate panels allow security patrols to see directly into the service area overnight.
Scenario 3 — Premium Retail Boutique: A high-end retailer wants security hardware that is completely invisible during trading hours. The RS7 with slimline pelmet box installation rolls the entire curtain into a concealed housing above the entrance — customers never see the shutter when the store is open.

Before You Buy — Checklist
- Measure your opening width and height. Motorised: up to 5,500mm wide. Manual: up to 3,000mm wide (10m² max). Can be measured by ATDC salesperson or technician prior to manufacture.
- Decide on installation type: bracket (wall/ceiling support) or pelmet box (concealed above ceiling).
- Choose operation: manual (pull pole) or motorised (240V). Motorised is recommended for wide or high openings.
- Confirm 240V power supply is available at the motor position if choosing motorised operation.
- Decide on finish: clear anodised (standard) or powder coated to Dulux colour.
- Consider ventilation: if airflow is needed after hours, specify ventilation slots in the polycarbonate slats.
- If your opening exceeds 5,500mm, confirm mullion placement with ATDC before ordering.
- Ensure support structure is adequate — check with ATDC.
Common Mistakes When Buying a Clear Roller Shutter
- Ordering manual operation for a wide opening — manual is limited to 3,000mm wide and 10m². For wider or taller openings, motorised is required.
- Not confirming 240V power availability before ordering motorised operation — this requires an electrician to run power to the motor position before installation.
- Assuming the pelmet box is included as standard — it is an optional extra. Specify it explicitly when requesting a quote.
- Not specifying ventilation slots when the application needs airflow — ventilation is an add-on, not standard on polycarbonate slats.
- Choosing a clear shutter when the priority is maximum opacity security — for high-security applications, a solid shutter may be more appropriate.
- Not taking into account whether there is sufficient headroom for the roller shutter overhead drum.
Technical Limitations — What the RS7 ClearVision Is NOT
- Not suitable for manual operation on spans wider than 3,000mm (3m) or areas exceeding 10m².
- Motorised doors are not fitted with locks — the weight of the shutter and the motor effectively locks the shutter in position when closed.
- Not self-supporting — requires a structural wall, ceiling, or pelmet box for track and drum mounting.
- Requires a 240V power supply for motorised operation (not included in ATDC scope).
- To seal the shutter from the weather on external installations a pelmet box is preferred.
- It does not have a fire rating.
- To comply with BCA egress one requires an emergency green exit button on the internal of the opening, a logic box and a battery back up facility.
Problem → Product → Outcome
| Problem | RS7 Solution | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Shopfront security hides product display overnight | Clear polycarbonate slats — full through-visibility | Merchandise visible to passing foot traffic and CCTV |
| Need visibility while keeping out rain, dust, and vermin | RS7 is a full physical barrier when pelmet box is used | Store interior protected while maintaining visibility of merchandise on display |
| Track at the bottom of the entrance creates a trip hazard | No bottom track required | Unimpeded entrance — no trip hazard, no track maintenance |
| Visible shutter housing clashes with premium store fit-out | Optional slimline pelmet box installation or recess overhead drum into ceiling above | Shutter is completely hidden during trading hours |
| Wide opening is too heavy for manual operation | Motorised option — up to 5,500mm in one section | Fast, reliable operation on any commercial-scale opening |
| Power outage leaves motorised shutter inoperable | Centris motor with safety brake + de-clutching cable. Battery back up optional. | Manual emergency operation available during power outages. Battery back up activation. |

Expert Recommendation
‘For retail shopfronts where product visibility drives after-hours sales, the RS7 ClearVision is our most specified shutter.

Who Should NOT Buy the RS7?
The RS7 ClearVision is the right product for retail and commercial premises where through-visibility is important. If you need maximum opacity, a heavy-duty solid shutter, or a solution primarily driven by cost rather than visibility, there may be a better option in the ATDC range. If your opening exceeds 5,500mm and mullions are not suitable for your application, consult ATDC before ordering.

Common Questions About the RS7 ClearVision Clear Roller Shutter
1. How much does an RS7 ClearVision roller shutter cost?
RS7 ClearVision shutters have an average pricing for a basic shopfront shutter of approximately $3,000 to $5,000 (plus GST) but the price can vary depending on width, height, operation type, and finish. Motorised systems are priced higher than manual systems. Pelmet box installation is an optional extra. Also there are many additional optional extras for motorised roller shutters. Request a free no-obligation quote from ATDC at trellisdoors.com.au/contact or call 1800 657 435.
2. What is the maximum size for an RS7 ClearVision roller shutter?
The RS7 ClearVision can span up to 5,500mm (5.5 metres) wide in a single motorised section. For manual operation, the maximum is 3,000mm (3 metres) wide, limited to 10m². Unlimited spans are achievable using fixed or removable mullions. Maximum height varies — contact ATDC for your specific opening dimensions.
3. Does the RS7 ClearVision require a bottom track?
No. The RS7 ClearVision does not require a bottom track to slot into. The entrance remains completely unimpeded, which removes the trip hazard associated with tracked systems and simplifies cleaning and maintenance. It does have side tracks at each end in which the shutter curtain is contained as the shutter rolls smoothly and securely up and down.
4. Can I see through the RS7 ClearVision when it is closed?
Yes — that is the defining feature of the RS7 ClearVision. Each polycarbonate slat is 100mm tall with 87mm of clear view coverage. When closed and the pelmet box is utilized, the curtain provides a full physical barrier against rain, dust, and is vermin resistant while maintaining complete through-visibility for CCTV monitoring, security patrols, and after-hours product display.
5. Is the RS7 ClearVision available with motorised operation?
Yes. The RS7 is available with 240V electric motorised operation. Bracket installations use a Centris side-mounted motor. Pelmet box installations use an internal dead-lift tube motor. Activation is via standard key switch or a normal wall mounted switch, with options for push button controller, remote control, or battery backup (UPS). Centris motors include a safety brake and de-clutching cable for manual operation during power outages.
6. What is the pelmet box option on the RS7 ClearVision?
The slimline pelmet box is an optional installation where the roller drum and curtain are completely concealed above the entrance in a colorbond metal pelmet with die-cast aluminium side frames. When the shutter is open, it is entirely hidden from view — a popular choice for premium streetfront retail environments where visible hardware is undesirable.
7. RS7 ClearVision vs. solid roller shutter — which should I choose?
Choose the RS7 ClearVision if through-visibility after hours is important — for CCTV effectiveness, deterrence by visibility, or after-hours product display. Choose a solid roller shutter if maximum opacity or a lower price point is the priority and visibility is not required. ATDC offers both — contact them to discuss which suits your application.
8. What warranty does the RS7 ClearVision come with?
ATDC offers a full 12-month warranty on all motors and aluminium slats used in the RS7 ClearVision, provided they are maintained in accordance with ATDC care guidelines. See the warranty page for full warranty terms and conditions.
