Cocktail Hour Continues Amid Lockdown, with a SeceuroShield 150 Aluminium Roller Shutter

The closure of pubs, bars and restaurants throughout both regional and national lockdowns in 2020 has resulted in the Great British public becoming increasingly creative with the space in their gardens and homes. From gyms in the garage, to offices under the stairs or bars in the garden there are lots of ways homeowners have been turning their homes into multi-functional spaces.

In this case-study our distributor Freelance Entry Solutions Ltd were able to assist their customer in completing a stylish, bespoke bar in the garden of their Salisbury home.

The Customer:

Despite the national closure of pubs and bars, this homeowner was still enjoying their favourite tipple with family and (when restrictions allowed) friends, thanks to the constructions of this sophisticated bar, named Plumm’s Place in their own back garden! The only thing missing was a method of closing off the bar at night time or when not in use.

The Requirements

With the bar already built, the customer was looking for a solution that would shield the inside from the varied British weather as well as keeping out curious animals from neighbouring properties. Whilst not a primary concern, the bar housed a commercial-sized drinks chiller and fully stocked optics, so security was also a consideration when choosing a product.

The Solution

Considering all the customer’s requirements, Freelance Entry Solutions advised their customer that our SeceuroShield 150/T aluminium roller shutter, with its lightweight profile and extensive choice of finishes would be an ideal solution.

The customer opted for effortless, electric operation on both shutters with Freelance installing separate switches, enabling independent control of each unit.  The chosen anthracite finish perfectly matched existing fixtures within the bar and garden, and provided the stylish, unobtrusive look the homeowner was keen to achieve.

The Outcome

Following the straightforward installation by Freelance Entry Solutions, the homeowner expressed their delight with the finished result and are pleased to be the proud owners of a garden bar that will remain dry and secure no matter the season.
