Riverside Retreat Secured with Equilux Shutters from Charter Global
Garador ’ s tried and tested Carlton proves popular Committed to Specification
With a classic design that suits so many different styles of property , Garador ’ s Carlton up & over garage door is one of the most popular garage doors on the market .
The Carlton offers exceptional value for money with a tried and tested design that ’ s both long-lasting and low maintenance , along with a competitive price point . Constructed from high grade galvanised steel , the crisp vertical swage complements modern architecture , but also sits well on traditional builds or alongside other garage doors where there are blocks of garages in a row . The door has a rivet free design meaning the surface of the door panel is smooth and a durable powder-coat paint finish protects the door from the elements .
Garador ’ s Carlton comes in a choice of 20 standard colours , including the ever-popular Anthracite Grey ( RAL 7016 ) plus is available in the full range of sizes up to 5500mm wide including standard , made-to-measure and double door sizes .

Riverside Retreat Secured with Equilux Shutters from Charter Global

Situated on the tranquil banks of the River Thames , Buckinghamshire , sophisticated home security measures were required for this beautiful new build retreat .
Being in an affluent area , the risk for crime and intentional property damage was high , especially as the home was to be periodically vacant .
As aesthetics were as important as security , over 20 bespoke Equilux Built-In Security Shutters from Charter Global were provided to physically secure each opening , whilst maintaining a pleasing style that complemented the architecture .
The Equilux Built-In shutter is a lintel security solution where the roller shutter barrel is engineered to lie within the structural lintel above an opening . Therefore the traditional unsightly headbox can sit neatly
within the lintel ; hidden from view .
For this specific project , the lintels were designed to bear the loads from internal & external leads and lined with high-density insulation and issued to site with clear method statements along with temporary access panels .
While the client is away from the property , the shutters provide an obvious yet not unappealing highsecurity protection to the house , but when open , the integrated structural lintel solution provides unaltered views of the river .
Working closely alongside the teams onsite enabled the security shutters to be concealed successfully and the shutter guide detail integrated into the traditional timber cladding .
The shutters were provided in RAL 7047 matte grey to compliment the property ’ s other architectural features and on this client ’ s requirements , the shutters were programmed to be controlled via a single master switch per floor .
