THE RISE OF EXTERNAL SLIDING SHUTTERS
As sustainability continues to play a crucial role in building design, external sliding shutters are becoming increasingly popular. This is due to their ability to help regulate building temperature and reduce energy consumption, all while providing an aesthetic appeal to the exterior of a building.
Developed with architects in mind, P C Henderson’ s Shutter Slide system offers an innovative solution to blend both functionality and aesthetics.
VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS
One of the key strengths of Shutter Slide is its versatility and flexibility to cater for a variety of applications and configurations. Suitable for residential and commercial properties such as homes, apartments and offices, Shutter Slide can be specified for single panel, simultaneous action or telescopic applications- all with options for manual or automated operation.
EASY SPECIFICATION
To make specification as easy as possible, Shutter Slide is available in kit pack format for single sliding panels. Alternatively, the system can be specified as individual components for more complex installations requiring additional component options or for applications with multiple sliding panels.
FLEXIBLE SPECIFICATION
For flexibility of installation, Shutter Slide offers 3 methods of fixing for face fixed and soffit fixed options. This includes an anodised aluminium wall fixing profile which comes complete with a complementary fascia for applications requiring a decorative finish.
The system is also available with multiple guide options to suit the requirements of various application types- including floor and wall mounted guides as well as a range of channel options.
AUTOMATED ACCESSORIES
For automated external sliding shutters, Shutter Slide can be specified with a low voltage, energy efficient motor which can be operated by the push of a button or remote control. The motor can also be wired into the central control panel of a building, enabling multiple panels to be connected and managed through a single secure access point.
PROUDLY MADE IN BRITAIN
As proud members of Made in Britain, P C Henderson manufacture Shutter Slide components from their factory based in County Durham using high quality materials such as stainless steel and anodised aluminium. As a result, Shutter Slide offers an extremely durable system which has been tested in line with BS EN 1527 standards.
Richard Reece, Product Manager at P C Henderson, commented,“ Shutter Slide was developed with both performance and design in mind— delivering a robust solution that integrates seamlessly into modern facades. Its minimalist profile, combined with high-quality materials and optional fascia, makes it a popular product amongst architects looking to balance functionality with aesthetics.”
