What makes Polyview shutters a standout choice for shopfronts and arcades?

Arcade Shop with Polyview Shutters

Every shopfront tells a story, even after closing time. For retailers, cafés, and businesses in busy commercial centres, keeping that story visible while protecting valuable stock is a daily challenge. Maverick’s Polyview shutters provide a secure, stylish, and transparent solution that keeps your business visible and protected around the clock.

These clear polycarbonate and aluminium roller shutters are designed for strength, clarity, and versatility. They let your store shine after hours while maintaining strong protection against vandalism and theft.

Why Polyview shutters are different

Traditional metal shutters can make even the most welcoming shopfronts appear closed and uninviting. Polyview shutters solve this by combining durable aluminium with clear polycarbonate panels, allowing customers to see into your store even when you are closed. This helps your visual displays, lighting, and branding continue working for you 24 hours a day.

Polyview shutters can also be configured with Maverick’s Series 1, Series 2, and Security Grille systems for customised visibility and airflow combinations.

With Polyview, you get:

  • Strong protection against theft and vandalism 
  • Clear visibility that enhances storefront appeal 
  • Low-maintenance durability for high-traffic areas 
  • Flexible operation options (manual or motorised) 
  • Custom finishes to suit your brand and building 

Visibility and security in one

The alternating polycarbonate and aluminium slats are what make Polyview shutters unique. The transparent sections provide visibility, while the aluminium adds rigidity and strength. This combination is ideal for commercial settings that need both openness and protection.

Each shutter includes:

  • 100 mm x 1.5 mm clear polycarbonate slats 
  • 30 mm extruded aluminium interlocking slats (6063-T5 alloy) 
  • Moulded nylon end clips to prevent movement and ensure quiet operation 
  • A keyed centre lock and locking bars for added security 

When closed, the shutter forms a strong barrier against intrusion while still allowing light to pass through. This is especially beneficial in shopping centres and pedestrian arcades, where visibility improves overall safety and ambience.

Built for Australian conditions

Designed and manufactured by Maverick Roller Products, Polyview shutters are engineered to perform in Australian commercial environments. They are UV-stable, rust-resistant, and easy to clean, making them ideal for both indoor and open-air locations.

From coastal retail strips to busy arcades, each system is built to withstand dust, debris, and changing weather conditions. Every shutter is custom-made to ensure a precise fit, long-lasting performance, and smooth operation.

Options for every shopfront

Whether you manage a boutique, café, or kiosk, Polyview shutters can be tailored to your exact needs.

Sizes: Up to 3.6 metres wide per panel (9 m² total)
Operation: Manual push/pull or motorised with key switch or remote control
Guides and drums: Engineered for smooth and quiet movement

Polyview shutters can also be configured with Maverick’s Series 1, Series 2, and Security Grille systems for customised visibility and airflow combinations.

Everyday advantages

Beyond reliable security, Polyview shutters deliver everyday benefits that enhance your business space.

  • Energy efficiency: The interlocking slats help retain indoor temperatures and reduce energy use. 
  • Noise reduction: The materials dampen outside sound, helping maintain a calm shopping environment. 
  • Dust and debris protection: Keeps interiors cleaner, particularly in open-air areas. 
  • Ease of use: Lightweight construction and optional motorisation ensure smooth operation every time. 

These advantages make Polyview shutters a smart investment in both the presentation and protection of your premises.

To get the best performance and longevity, correct installation is essential. Maverick Roller Products offers professional installation and servicing Australia-wide to ensure every shutter fits perfectly and functions as designed.

Technicians can provide advice on:

  • Accurate measuring and mounting requirements 
  • Choosing between manual and motorised operation
