The French doors and windows of a ‘high end’ residential  property have benefitted from Charter Inegr8’s security shutters which are ‘almost invisible’ when raised

Charter Integr8’s architecturally advanced security shutters have been installed in the £1m redevelopment of a prestige residential property overlooking London’s Richmond Park.

Built-in shutters (which feature a mechanism housed within a structural lintel, making the shutters almost invisible when open) were fitted to eight potentially vulnerable windows and French doors on the 320m² property at a cost of £15,000.

“This is the first time we have used built-in shutters in this way. It’s something we would definitely do again and I would think there will be demand for this type of product on other high-spec housing projects,” the leading architect commented.

“Charter provided good design and technical help throughout. The shutters fit discreetly into the cavity – in fact the product does exactly what it says on the tin! We were impressed by its quality too.”

This view was echoed by the contractor: “The shutters were delivered on time and fitted well by Charter. We experienced no problems. It’s a sturdy, quality product and Charter supplied good back-up.”
