Heavy Duty Shutter in UAE – 5 Features You Must Know

Shutter Curtain Construction

The shutter curtain is manufactured using 75mm or 100mm pitch and 17mm wide superior single-skin zincalume steel slats, with thicknesses ranging from 0.8mm to 1.2mm. These slats are formed using a precision roll forming process and feature reinforced interlocking profiles for added strength. Each slat edge is auto cut-off to effectively end-lock axial movement, maintaining the curtain’s structural integrity.

In addition, for external installations, these shutters can withstand wind speeds of up to 40 km/h, with optional wind locks for enhanced performance.

Side Guides for Strength and Precision

Two types of side guides are available based on the installation type:

• G-shaped guides (for face fixing): 75mm wide x 100mm deep x 1.5mm thick galvanized steel.

• U-shaped guides (for concealed applications): 75mm wide x 75mm deep x 1.5mm thick galvanized steel.

These robust guides ensure smooth, reliable operation and help maintain shutter alignment over long-term usage.

Bottom Bar for Weather Protection

The leading slat is constructed from the same zincalume steel as the curtain and reinforced using:

• Two angle bars (either 38mm x 38mm x 3mm or 50mm x 50mm x 5mm, depending on the shutter size).

• An EPDM weather seal strip can also be added for superior weather resistance, reducing dust, water, and wind ingress — perfect for the UAE’s harsh climate.

Shutter Box for Secure Mounting

The shutter box comprises two heavy-duty steel endplates (4mm to 7mm thick, based on shutter size), joined by five steel hollow sections (50mm x 25mm). The box is primer-finished in black and secured with 50mm x 50mm x 4.5mm steel angles with slotted fixing holes. This ensures easy, stable mounting to the building structure, especially in industrial environments.

Reinforced Steel Barrel

The barrel is a key component, crafted from heavy-duty seamless steel pipe and fitted with axles ranging from 35mm to 50mm diameter. It is secured at each end using heavy-duty sealed roller bearings, allowing for smooth and consistent operation, even in high-cycle applications.

Durable Box Cover

To protect the internal mechanism, the shutter box cover is made from 0.8mm thick zincalume steel sheets, with folded edges for rigidity and resistance to environmental wear and tear.
