Due for completion in 2015, Louvre Abu Dhabi will be a cultural institution of global importance, housing priceless works of art from around the world. The contract includes the supply of SR4 security rated shutters providing high levels of physical protection and operational efficiency for the museum. Manufactured in the UK and meeting ‘Police Preferred’ and ‘Secured by Design’ standards, Rolegard high security shutters help facilities to reduce security threats through proven target hardening measures.
