Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why are these roller shutters suitable for school canteens, serveries, and reception desks?

These commercial-grade shutters provide robust protection in high-traffic areas like school canteens (as recently installed at Emu Plains Public School), serveries, counter tops, reception desks, and bar counters. The slimline design works well in restricted-height openings, offering reliable security against unauthorised access or aggression while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in busy environments.

2. Can these roller shutters be customised to match different settings?

Yes, we offer custom powdercoated finishes to blend seamlessly with your surroundings—whether it’s a school canteen, bar counter, reception area, or commercial counter top. Tailored sizing and specifications ensure the shutters fit perfectly without compromising on strength or functionality.

3. How do the roller shutters provide security for counter areas?

When closed, the extruded aluminium lattice forms a strong, tamper-resistant barrier with key-locking at the bottom rail for controlled access. They’re built to withstand daily use in commercial spaces and help protect staff and stock in vulnerable areas like serveries, bars, and reception desks from potential threats or after-hours intrusions.

4. What warranty and installation support comes with these roller shutters?

Each installation includes a full 12-month warranty on both materials and labour. Professional project management ensures correct fitting—for example, our recent school canteen project was handled by Reno Build Projects. We handle everything from measurement to secure setup for reliable, long-term performance.

5. Are these shutters only for commercial use, or can they work in other applications?

While ideal for commercial spots like canteens, bars, reception desks, and counter tops, the heavy-duty design also suits settings needing slimline security—such as home-based workplaces or treatment areas where staff protection is a priority. Their compact roll-up design makes them versatile without taking up much space.

6. What are the main features of Trellis Doors’ roller shutters for canteens and counters?

Our heavy-duty roller shutters are made from double-wall extruded aluminium slats for extra strength and durability. They feature a manual spring counter-balanced operation for smooth, easy use, a double-sided key-lockable bottom rail for secure access control, and a compact slimline overhead pelmet box that neatly hides the rolled-up shutter when open. Finishes like Dulux Duralloy Black Satin powdercoat keep them looking sharp and integrated.
