The Client
During a refurbishment project to a flagship retail store in Sloane Street, London, Louis Vuitton needed to protect two large openings with a requirement for security but also to allow some vision and airflow between areas of the store.
Having shutters with an independent security certification was of great importance to protect the ground floor after retail opening hours, but the aesthetics of the security system was also of prime significance, to keep the appearance in keeping with this luxury brand.
A secure, perforated solution
Charter Global offer a vast range of LPS 1175 security-rated shutters to suit all levels of security and a vast array of site situations – the Obexion product range being the most highly rated – up to LPS 1175 Issue 8 G15.
In this situation, Obexion UD shutters were the most suitable as they also offered a perforated solution, and two Issue 7 SR2 security shutters were manufactured and carefully installed by Charter Global’s team of engineers. (Note – this product is now superceded by the LPS 1175 Issue 8 Obexion UDB-03) to meet the latest LPCB standard.
This roller shutter is availabe in both a solid and a perforated lath giving a 13% open area to allow a suitable level of vision for security personnel to be able to monitor the area.
Suitable for protecting against low-medium level risks in the commercial environment, the Obexion UD SR2 shutter is designed to withstand attack by a determined opportunist using bodily force and mechanically advanced tools.
LockDown Technology built in
It also features LockDown Technology – a unique feature on the Obexion product range, to ensure that the shutter can never be left in an unsecured position where it could be forced open. The unique profiles lock the shutter in any stop position, whether fully closed or not – even when left partially open due to user error.
This means no auxiliary locking is required, manual or electronic, making it the ideal solution when the shutter is the first and last point of exit from a building.
