We’re the UK’s exclusive distributor of the Eurolook® shutter, a brick formation transparent armour made from polycarbonate links. Our history of working with Dutch company stretches back six years and the product is proving more popular than ever before. An increased awareness has led to a high number of architects and organisations specifying the design. 

Aluroll is launching a new feature on all roller garage doors. The SELVE burglar-proof fixation will replace the current anti-lift locking straps. The devices prevent intruders from gaining access by lifting the curtain from below.

The Aluroll factory has recruited apprentices to help keep up with increasing demand. New apprentices in fabrication and stock management have started work this month.

There has been plenty of interesting news around this month. We’ve mentioned burglary rates are falling because of better security, but the cost of UK crime has soared to a record-breaking £613 million in the latest figures. The link between better security and reducing theft losses is an obvious one, but 59% of SMEs in the UK still rely on locks and lights alone to protect their business.

This month we're bringing you two special offers. Receive a fire shutter panel or a vision upgrade on orders received before the end of February. Simply reference the offer when placing your order

White roller garage doors are by far our most popular, so we’ve expanded our natural range with two new colours. We have Sand, a cream white (RAL 9001), and Light Ivory, a yellow-hued off-white (RAL 1015).

Current crime statistics have shown burglary rates are continuing to drop, and Government officials have said “there is little consensus” on the fact that this is due to improvements in building and vehicle security.

We’re wishing all of our trade installers merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thanks for your continued support throughout 2015, and here’s to a successful 2016 too...

Aluroll’s Chris Roberts had his first boxing match on Sunday, managing to score a draw against a tough opponent. Our very own Rocky took part in three two minute rounds and, having lost one, won one and drawn one, the match was officially declared a draw.

We’ve been really busy this month, ensuring Aluroll installers have everything they need before the Christmas break. Perhaps homeowners are giving practical gifts of garage doors? We’re not sure. But here’s something you definitely don’t want to see on your other half’s list - one of Britain’s most expensive garages has sold this month. 

While sales of insurance approved high security products are rapidly increasing, the complexities involved in achieving Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) accreditation and installation have held many trade installers back. 

Aluroll is offering an innovative new service to help installers into the high security market and increase their sales of LPCB SR3 and SR4 rated shutters.

Aluroll will be closing for a short time over the festive period. Find out our Christmas opening hours here and ensure you receive your orders on time. 

We’re excited to launch our new M511 shutter this month. This new insulated aluminium design has a 55mm slat, with optional ventilation holes if required. A maximum area of 12m2 and choice of colour options make this versatile electric shutter suitable for a range of medium to high security applications

Analysis of the last two years’ roller garage door orders showed we could deliver better value for trade installers by introducing new width and height price bands.

We have been made increasingly aware that installers of Aluroll products are using different fixings for the guide channels. The majority of these fixings have larger heads than the 10mm hole that was previously required for the 10mm cover cap supplied...

The main story we’ve been talking about this month was a tragic reminder of the importance of safety throughout the design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance processes. A man was charged with two counts of manslaughter after an accident with an industrial door killed two people in a Guildford theatre.

With widespread proposed policing cuts threatening officers’ jobs and resources, high ranking police officials are advising homeowners take personal steps to preventing crime. Aluroll predict this will have an impact on physical security sales, with products such as domestic shutters expected to increase in popularity.

Aluroll have just received Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) approval across multiple steel shutters. The Elite range now includes steel designs to suit all high security applications, including the single skinned S76 Elite, the P76 Elite version with perforations for vision and ventilation, and the double skinned i100 Elite. 

You may have heard we opened the UK’s largest security shutter and roller garage door showroom earlier this year - perhaps you’ve even paid us a visit. With a wide range of fully functioning products on display, including aluminium and steel shutters, motors and control systems, it’s quickly becoming a hub for installers and surveyors. Now not only are we using it to demonstrate our products, but we’re also hosting training days where we share expert advice and guidance to the trade.

October is Home Security Month, and we’ve seen plenty of warnings about burglary ratings increasing at this time of year.
