Slim Chickens Sliding Shutters at Arndale Shopping Centre, Manchester and Cribbs Causeway, Bristol

FlexiGlide sliding shutters are usually an ideal choice for securing the entrances to shops and restaurants in shopping centres. These openings are generally high and wide to give a beautiful sense of open space and be as inviting as possible to shoppers.

In modern shopping centres the entrances to shops are also often gently curved. This makes a for a very elegant opening into the shop, but also one that's difficult to secure with a traditional roller shutter.

FlexiGlide sliding shutters for Slim Chickens restaurants

As Slim Chickens expand its restaurants across the UK, they have opened in a couple of shopping centres that specify our FlexiGlide sliding shutters.

Reasons for FlexiGlide sliding shutters

A sliding shutter can be an excellent choice to secure a wide and high restaurant entrance for several reasons:

• FlexiGlide shutters can span any width, so a wide opening is no problem
• Our sliding shutters have a low top-track (under 2 inches high), so the entrance can keep its inviting look
• FlexiGlide shutters lock into the floor using unobtrusive floor-sockets. Their beveled surfaces are raised only 2mm from the floor and provide no trip-hazard.
• They are perfectly suited for curved entrances, because the shutters can follow almost any curve
• FlexiGlide shutters are lightweight
• Our shutters operate without electricity, so they are easy to install and maintain

Slim Chickens used the FlexiGlide Vision Guard sliding shutter in black at the Arndale Centre in Manchester, as well as at their Cribbs Causeway restaurant in Bristol.

We worked with two different fit out companies to get the shutters installed on time ready for opening. There was a strict deadline and only a minimal amount of time allowed for the fit outs. But we love a little challenge and achieved installation of the shutters with a couple of days to spare.

We enjoyed working on the project and are happy with the elegant result. The black Vision Guard shutters look very professional alongside the red and black branding of Slim Chickens.
