School's are increasingly becoming
targets for theft and vandalism. School's have rapidly improved
the levels of technology over recent years, moving from simple TVs
and Videos, through computer technology towards the present day
target of interactive projectors and the like.
Schools have become increasingly
hit by criminals, who often leave a trail of destruction behind
them, with extensive damage to classrooms along with smashed glazing
due to vandalism.
Here at A1S, we can offer many
solutions to these problems. Utilising both our traditional and
continental range of shutters we can offer impressive security solutions
to places such as IT. suites, play areas and storage equipment spaces,
right down to securing whole schools where equipment is more extensively
distributed.
Check below for the full specification.
Traditional Shutters:

laths & 50mm flat aluminium laths.
All laths are interlocked with nylon endlocks as standard. 'L' section
bottom rails are supplied with each steel curtain as standard and
'T' section bottom rails are supplied with aluminium curtains as
standard (and can also be used with the steel shutters if required).

tube. Tube sizes vary based on the overall width and height of the
curtain and the gauge of laths. The tube wall thickness varies dependant
on the width of the shutter, the barrels are mounted on bright steel
shafts varying from 16mm to 25mm dependant on the overall size of
the shutter, the shafts have support bearings. A tempered steel
helical torsion spring (for manual versions) or a tubular motor
