Curved Reception Desk Sliding Security Shutter London

OVERVIEW

Gracefields was a newly constructed health centre in London. As part of the construction a large reception area got built, with curved desks which needed to be secured out of hours.

The use of our Vision Air sliding curved shutter made perfect sense for it.

Sliding folding security shutters are an excellent choice for curved reception desks

Curved reception desks have an elegance to them that's not only very pleasing to the eye, but also very practical, especially in a health centre like here. The soft lines mean that there are no hard or sharp edges that anyone can hurt themselves on. Moreover, the curved design feels more welcoming to visitors than a reception desk with straight corners.

It's only logical then to follow this design aesthetic when installing a security shutter. Traditional roller shutters work well for straight and square openings, like most windows and doors. But they cannot be bent to follow a curve. FlexiGlide sliding security shutters however, are designed especially with curved openings in mind.

FlexiGlide security shutters hang from an extruded aluminium top-track (the track is only 46mm high and can even be countersunk if necessary), and slide horizontally instead of rolling vertically. The curtain follows the shape of the top-track, which can be curved in almost any shape.

Slding shutter with elegant curves

The photos above show the shutter in its closed position. When opened it slides out of the way completely, leaving the opening totally free. The whole shutter folds away into a custom made box (typically set inside a hollow wall or partition), and the only things hinting at its existence are the top-track and the pound-coin-sized floor sockets.
