Using the same design as a conventional roller shutter, car park roller shutters come with a range of upgrades making them more suitable for the car park environment.

As these doors are found in public places and generally tend to be unsupervised, there are many safety features required such as anti-trapping photocells and induction loops to prevent impact collisions. Properties with smaller car parks usually opt to have the doors operated via remote control units, whereas larger car parks have many options from card reading access systems to token collectors. As with all roller shutters they can be powder coated in any RAL/BS colour and curtains can be perforated, punched or insulated.
