The only roll-up door, louvred shutter system available in the market, our patented Gliderol Louvred Roller Shutters offer excellent ventilation while keeping out the weather.
The Gliderol Aluminium Louvred Shutter is a conveniently operable louvred facade. In today's global push towards 'Green' building designs, louvred facades are increasingly being used to provide natural ventilation and lighting.
Get a QuoteOur patented louvred roller shutter can come in handy where any portion of the facade needs to be an operable door opening. It is also ideal for use in openings that are traditionally closed by louvred hinged doors, like electrical substations and switch rooms.
The door curtain material can also be used as a cost-effective fixed facade cladding, minus the operating components.
It has the added advantage of being able to achieve wider spans, thus reducing the number of mullions and transoms needed by conventional louvred shutter facade systems.
Note: Singapore Patent No. 152936, US Patent Nos. 7,370,862 B2 and 7,770,623 B2. Patents are lodged and pending in many other countries.
Our patented louvred shutter system combines high-strength steel and extruded aluminium components for durable, safe, and smooth operation, ideal for operable doors and facade applications.
Drum Assembly
Barrel
The barrel assembly shall be suitably-sized, an extremely rigid steel tube sheathed over a pair of drive shaft assemblies fitted to heavy-duty bearing sets and supported at both ends by steel head plates.
The drive shaft shall be a solid polished-steel round bar incorporating key ways to accept the drive sprocket.
Depending on the size of the louvred shutter, the head plates shall be 6mm or 8mm thick, and the shafts shall be 38mm or 50mm in diameter.
Safety Fall Arrester
Provide a fail-safe mechanical fall-arresting device at the drive shaft that will automatically prevent the door curtain from free-falling should there be a gearbox failure or a decoupling of the barrel from the motor operator.
Door Curtain
The door curtain is made of a series of proprietary-designed 1.2mm thick extruded aluminium louvre blades connected horizontally by hinging links that are spaced at approximately 500mmapart.
Bottom Rail
The bottom rail shall be a full-length extruded aluminium box section that is splayed at the front to match the louvre blades. The profile has slots at the base to retain a seamless PVC weather seal.
Door Guides
The guide channels shall be an extruded aluminium channel of overall dimensions 98mm x 62mm x 2mm thick. It shall have slots at the lips to retain a seamless rubber strip for smoother and quieter operation.
Door Operation
Drive Unit
The drive unit shall consist of a suitably-sized linear drive motor operator mounted parallel to and behind the door roll. It shall have an integrated gearbox and a chain-operated sheave wheel for manual operation in case of power failure.
Control Box
The control box shall be lockable, housing a set of push buttons for Up’, ‘Down’, and ‘Stop’ operations.
The door operation shall automatically stop at the desired upper and lower limits via adjustable limit switches.
For safety reasons, the ‘DOWN’ button shall require the operator to push and hold when closing the roller shutter. This is to ensure the closing operation is being supervised.
Upon sighting an obstruction, the operator will automatically release the push button by reflex. This will instantly stop the downward travel of the shutter and prevent accidents.
Power Requirement
Power supply shall be either Single Phase 230V x 15amp or 3-phase 415V x 20amp.
