S75 - A no through road for vermin
W & H Marriage and Sons Ltd. is a well known independent
family milling business established in Chelmsford in 1824.
Included in the specification for a new packaging plant was
a traditional galvanised steel roller shutter.
Mice v Theft
At a meeting with the Directors. It transpired that the greater
risk of theft come not from thieves in the night, but from
the common field mouse, stealing and contaminating the irresistible
wheat grains used for the special flours.
Mouse Motorway
Mr Marriage soon realised that a traditional roller shutter
was unsuitable. The shape of traditional steel profiles would
allow mice to simply walk round between the laths and side
guide channels. In fact, to quote Mr Marriage:
"A mouse can get through a hole the size
of a pencil and we are buying a mouse motorway"
S75 - Aluminium shutter - closes mouse run
Drathmore Blinds, Shutters, Awnings manufactured a roller shutter
made from S75 aluminium laths. The gently smooth camber of
the laths and the very narrow channel mouth, closed the mouse
run. For additional protection at the top and bottom we fitted
a special anti vermin brush seal.
S75 - Aluminium shutters added benefits
The shutter is raised and lowered using the electric motor.
The anti rattle linings to the channels ensure smooth and
quite operation. As an added bonus the foam core in the laths
provided insulation while the tough granular paint finish
enhances the appearance and the shutters are easier to clean.
The result is a security roller shutter that is easy to use,
looks good, insulates and forms a "NO ENTRY" barrier
to unwanted fury things.
Now the only ones reaping the harvest are Marriages!
