Stackdoor Corner shutter protects Flagship Chanel Store

Having seen a video online of the Stackdoor Corner security shutter, luxury retailer, Chanel, were impressed by the quality and styling of the product and keen to see if it could be installed into their flagship store in Seattle, USA.

The store is in a large shopping mall with different opening hours, so it was crucial to secure the concession while keeping promotional displays visible to passers-by.

Chanel was directed to Charter Global in the UK, who supply a Stackdoor Corner as part of their revolutionary Stackdoor system range.

One main factor in the decision-making process is that the store frontage is a large, ‘L’ shaped opening, with each side being over 6m, making many physical security options difficult to install without having a central corner post in position either permanently, or without needing an inconvenient floor fixing.

Chanel also needed the shutter to disappear into the ceiling void completely, so when open, there is no sign of the Stackdoor and the opening has a seamless finish.

Stackdoor is a lightweight system designed for maximum visibility without compromising security. The stack-and-pin technology allows up to 80% free visibility and airflow, with no unsightly head box as the stacking mechanism requires minimal space at the top and bottom of the curtain.

Unlike other standard security shutters on the market, Stackdoor is capable of spanning large widths without intermediate guide rails and is able to follow profiles in plan. This makes the design ideal for retail environments, securing revolving door systems using the Stackdoor Curved version, and car parks where airflow is required.

Chanel was delighted with the outcome as the quality and aesthetics of the product is in keeping with their high-level brand, as well as giving them secure protection.
