Aluminium Roller Shutters for Thorn Jewellers in Bude, Cornwall

We recently had the pleasure of replacing the roller shutters at Thorn Jewellers in Bude, Cornwall. We fitted the first set of roller shutters at the store in 2003 and twenty years later it was time to replace the shutters with something new.

In this case-study we look at the K25 Perforated Aluminium Roller shutter and why it was the right choice for this jewellery shop.

Security Shutter Considerations for Jewellery Shops

Security shutters play a big role in safeguarding jewellery shops, serving as the first line of defense against potential break-ins. For a Jewellery Shop such as Thorn's, who also do repairs, ensuring the safety of their inventory gives peace of mind to both the shop owners and their customers.

Roller shutters give a clear signal that the shop is well-secured. And because modern security shutters can offer a blend of security and elegance, their design allows the jewellery shop to maintain its aesthetic appeal even after opening hours.

So high-quality security shutters are an important investment for jewellery shops, that can help uphold their reputation for quality and trustworthiness, creating a secure environment where customers can shop with confidence.

Choosing the right type of roller shutter

After two decades of reliable service, Thorn Jewellers recognized the need for a security update. The challenge was to balance robust security with an elegant design that would not obscure the view of their merchandise. Considering Bude's coastal location and the salty winds that often sweep through the town, we recommended a set of K25 perforated roller shutters, crafted from durable aluminium ideal for seaside environments.

K25 Perforated Roller Shutters

HVP Security Shutters installed a pair of K25 aluminium perforated roller shutters at Thorn Jewellers. The K25 is not just a security feature; it's an elegant addition to the storefront. These shutters, made from lightweight yet robust aluminium, provide the necessary security the shop required without compromising aesthetics.

The perforated design allows for back lighting, ensuring the jewellers' offerings are visible to passersby through the shutter even after dusk.

Benefits of K25 Perforated Roller Shutters

• Enhanced Security: Crafted from high-quality aluminium, the K77 roller shutters provide formidable security, protecting Thorn Jewellers from potential threats.
• Elegance in Design: The elegant perforated design adds a touch of sophistication to the storefront, enhancing the overall appeal of Thorn Jewellers.
• Visibility: By strategically backlighting the roller shutters in the evenings, Thorn Jewellers maintains visibility, allowing the allure of their collection to shine through, even when the store is closed.
• Seaside Resilience: Designed to withstand coastal environments, the aluminium construction of the K25 shutters ensures durability against salty winds and corrosion, making them a perfect fit for Bude's coastal atmosphere.

Aluminium Roller Shutters: Lightweight and Strong

Aluminium roller shutters are a lightweight alternative to heavier steel roller shutters. They are often preferable in coastal environments, because they're less susceptible to corrosion.

HVP supply and install different types of aluminium shutters, each with their own benefits. Depending on the project we can supply smaller aluminium shutters, as well as medium-sized and larger aluminium roller shutters. Or, as was the case here in Bude, a custom-made solution that fits perfectly where it needs to be.
