This week in Melbourne, we witnessed a powerful example of how Commercial Grade Roller Shutters can make all the difference in protecting a business from devastating loss.
In the early hours of Monday morning, a Greek restaurant in Yarraville, located in Melbourne’s inner west, was the target of a deliberate ram-raid. A stolen vehicle was driven straight into the premises and then set alight in what police are now investigating as a suspicious fire.
But thanks to the strength and strategic design of the building’s commercial-grade extruded Roller Shutters, a much worse outcome was avoided. The impact of the crash caused the shutter to fall directly onto the car, which played a critical role in smothering the flames. This quick suppression of the fire significantly reduced its ability to spread, effectively preventing the entire building from being engulfed.
This incident is a powerful reminder that roller shutters do far more than just deter intruders—they provide real, physical protection in emergency scenarios. In this case, the shutter not only limited the ram raid but actively contributed to containing the fire, safeguarding the business and potentially saving lives.
If you’re looking to secure your commercial property, this is one story that proves the investment in high-quality roller shutters is worth every cent.
