Description Chainlink roller grilles
The CL200 and CL250 are modern looking, versatile grilles, manufactured in aluminium, steel, or stainless steel, suitable for a range of different applications.
On shop fronts they are ideally placed behind glass to form a strong barrier. Many town planning departments prefer this arrangement over a solid shutter fitted on the outside of a building. Internally-fitted is the recommended arrangement in high risk areas.

a brickbond pattern (CL200 - left) or an inline pattern (CL250 - right).
A large area of open space between the links gives a very high level of visibility, allowing goods on display to be seen.
The same sense of openness makes the CL200 and CL250 popular choices on reception counters, bars and serveries. Its fine lines give it an elegant look, which blends in well with many contemporary interiors.
Standard finishes are anodised natural, polished stainless steel, and a range of powder coat paint colours.
Chainlink roller grille suitability
Roller grilles are particularly suitable for shop fronts, bars and serveries, and reception counters.
Shop front roller grilles
Placed behind glass, Chainlink roller grilles are a highly secure setup. Potential intruders would first have to break the glass, usually setting off an intruder alarm, and then work at the security grille through broken glass before being able to gain entrance.
At the same time, the open construction of Chainlink roller grilles allows goods to be displayed very well. It's this combination of security and visibility that makes Chainlink roller grilles such an excellent choice for shop front security.
Bar/servery and reception roller grilles
The open character of roller grilles makes them very suitable for bars, serveries and reception counters. A closed roller grilled indicates visually that the area is closed and prevents access when there is no supervision.
