Shop roller shutters: security and aesthetics at once
Transparent, grilled, solid. Burglary class, Somfy drives, HOA approval. What you need for a St. Petersburg shop or café.
A shop or café front needs two things at once: max visibility by day, real burglary protection at night. These goals fight each other, and transparent or grilled rollers solve both.
01Three types
Transparent polycarbonate
Impact-resistant polycarbonate slats, 65–75% light transmission. Goods visible, interior visible. Basic protection (vandalism, smash-and-grab — not professional break-ins).
From 18 000 ₽/m² with electric drive.
Aluminium grilles
Aluminium slats with 60–80% see-through. Medium protection (WK2), good daytime visibility.
From 14 200 ₽/m² with Somfy drive.
Solid steel
Insulated steel slats. Max protection (WK3), zero visibility.
From 9 800 ₽/m² + drive.
| Type | Day visibility | Protection | 2026 price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polycarbonate | 65–75% | WK1 (vandalism) | from 18 000 ₽/m² |
| Aluminium grille | 60–80% | WK2 | from 14 200 ₽/m² |
| Solid steel | 0% | WK3 | from 9 800 ₽/m² |
| Laminated glass | 95% | WK2 | from 28 000 ₽/m² |
Tenants who save on rollers spend 200 000 ₽ on a smashed window after the first break-in. WK2 is the minimum for commerce in St. Petersburg.
