Perforated walls, screens and panels have been around for centuries. They provide a convenient way to control the amount of light and ventilation coming into your store along with the option of privacy. Essentially, perforated sheets are metal sheets that have been punched or stamped to create a pattern of holes varying in thickness and diameter. They were first developed around 150 years ago for the mining industry as a rudimentary means of filtering coal. Today, perforated sheets serve many cost-efficient and practical functions.

While they can be used as interior features, acoustic applications, etc., they are most commonly used by retailers in shopping malls and standalone stores. These perforated shutters or visi screen roller shutter allow for premises to be securely closed while allowing customers a glimpse inside when the area is lit. If you’re a retailer looking for a cost-effective security option that won’t compromise the aesthetics of your establishment, read on to learn how and why you can use these visi screen doors and windows.

Visible Merchandising:

The primary purpose of using a visi screen roller is visible merchandising. Visi screens allow retailer property owners to display their products to customers round the clock – even after the store is shut. Since visi screens are essentially shutters with perforated holes, they double as a security while still allowing your window displays to be perused by passers-by. Dura Ultima’s visi screens come with a 1mm or 3mm punch, giving you the best of security and visibility.

Visual impact

One of the most obvious benefits of using a visi screen roller shutter is how it can improve both the interior and exterior aesthetics of a building. Visi screens come in a wide variety of size, designs and colours and are of course, customisable to suit your property. You could even use them for your windows, to cover up pipes or electrical wiring without restricting maintenance purposes. If your store has multiple levels, you can also use visi screen roller shutters as part of your stairwell design to transform it into a unique and eye-catching feature.

Control light and ventilation

With visi screen doors and windows, you can control the amount of natural light and air coming into your store. Roll them up to instantly brighten up your space or roll them back down if you prefer dim lights. This is most useful if you have visi screen roller shutters attached to your windows. If your store is on a busy road, a visi screen roller shutter can function as a noise blocker as they absorb and reduce noise by about 50%. This will provide your customers with a smooth shopping experience.

Secure your establishment

Apart from giving your establishment an aesthetic appeal, a visi screen roller shutter can also help secure your store and act as a deterrent to potential threat. These screens are made from highly durable and robust material that protects your store as a shield and reduces the chance of a break-in. Moreover, the security staff will be able to ensure that your store is safe just at a glance, without the need to check the surveillance cameras.   

Easy to maintain

One of the biggest challenges that most store owners face is the herculean task of maintaining the look of their entrance. Visi screen roller doors solve this very same problem. Most visi screen doors and windows are made of corrugated aluminium, a lightweight and durable material. Not only that but is it waterproof and anti-corrosive. This makes easy to clean and maintain over an extended period of time, saving you money in the long run.
