Thu, Oct 19, 2023
Ensuring advanced security for your small business is the key to having peace of mind when you leave at the end of the working day.
Investing in high-quality security systems is an integral part of keeping your business safe and protected against unauthorised access. Whether you’re a local coffee shop, industrial plant or something much more niche, we’ve gathered the top 5 ways to enhance the security of your small business so you can focus on the important things! Without further ado, let’s take a look:
1. Security Grilles
Security grilles are a brilliant visual deterrent against intruders, in addition to providing robust physical protection of both windows and doors. Compared to the potential loss that your business could suffer as a result of damage or burglary, security grilles offer a relatively inexpensive security option to protect your premises. At Cheshire Industrial Doors, we offer a range of easy-to-fit security grilles that provide a range of advantages compared to other, more rigorous security measures such as roller shutter doors, including:
- Durable & high-quality
- Professional appearance
- Unrestricted natural light
- Good ventilation
Additionally, there are a range of security grilles options available so whether you prefer a curved or diamond lattice and depending on the level of protection your business needs, security grilles can be a fantastic solution!
2. Mesh Security Screens
Mesh security screens are not only a cost-effective and low-maintenance security solution, they are also a discreet way to protect your business against vandalism and damage. Mesh security screens are available in a range of materials including perforated mesh and polycarbonate, the most appropriate choice will depend on your unique end application. In comparison to security grilles, mesh security screens offer a range of additional benefits when utilised in business environments including:
- Planning permission is not generally required
- Quick pay-back once fitted
- Unobtrusive appearance
- Keep insects and bugs at bay
- Graffiti & vandalism resistant
- Maximised light and visibility
Mesh security screens are often the first choice for public buildings, schools, social housing and youth centres thanks to their myriad of benefits and sleek appearance. At Cheshire Industrial Doors, our mesh security screens ensure excellent visibility whilst maintaining privacy and improving the security of your premises.
3. Domestic Aluminium Gates
If you’re a small business operating from domestic or residential premises, domestic aluminium gates can provide additional security against intruders, weather damage and vandalism. Aluminium gates are available in a wide variety of options including various colours, styles and control mechanisms and offer a range of advantages including:
- Robust yet lightweight to operate
- Zero maintenance
- Ornate style options
- Powder coated finish for durability
- 5 year guarantee with Cheshire Industrial Doors

CCTV has become an integral part of security for home and businesses alike, and your small business should be no different! CCTV systems now have advanced technology that bring high levels of security for a reasonable budget. If CCTV systems are supplied and installed professionally, the benefits can far outweigh the initial investment and include:
- Reduced security costs (reduced need to hire security personnel!)
- Deters vandalism and prevents intentional property damage
- Provides video footage for evidence in case of damage
- Monitors staff compliance
5. Intruder Alarm Systems
Intruder alarm systems are an exceptional way to prevent unauthorised access to your business.
