Protecting an impressive research facility

This impressive 4,000sqm property with striking modern architecture is one of the core laboratories funded by the UK government to research infrastructure and cities. 

The unique, purpose built facility creates life size environments such as railway stations or town squares, and can manipulate conditions such as light, sound, weather, temperature, smells and more. 

As a testing research laboratory, security measures were needed to prevent unauthorised access and theft. Being independently certified by the Loss Prevention Certification Board to LPS 1175 SR2, Xonar 942 shutters from CGT Security were specified for the building.

The product features CGT Security’s innovative Self-Locking Technology that enables Xonar shutters to be completely secured without any auxiliary locking mechanisms, so even if it is left partially open, it cannot be forced upwards.   

The shutter was finished in black to complement the building’s fantastic architectural cladding and stunning appearance.

Unlike most security shutters that need to be fitted internally to protect the fittings, the Xonar Bolt-On range is certified for external installation, broadening the range of applications it can be used for.
