Trellidor made its name through its iconic retractable sliding steel gate for doors and windows, so it may not be the first supplier that comes to mind for estate homes where perimeter security is a major selling point for buyers. However, with the rise in demand for residential estates in recent in the last decade, Trellidor has developed a range of designs that are perfectly suited to this peaceful way of life.
Here are five ways that this Trellidor range can benefit community management:
1. Assist homeowners find products that comply with estate regulations
We can’t turn a blind eye to the fact that petty and other crimes occur on estates, because they still do. It is far more practical to specify a particular range of acceptable security products than to remonstrate with homeowners after they’ve installed unsightly products. By working with homeowners to improve their personal security, management can avoid unnecessary conflict.

2. Maintain control of the appearance of the estate
The uniform appearance of estate homes is often a major attraction for homeowners but can be hard work for community management to enforce. When residents struggle with issues such as how to keep monkeys and snakes out of their homes, however, they may become desperate enough to install barriers that violate regulations.
The Trellidor Lifestyle range offers a choice of products that are hardly noticeable once installed to doors and windows. They enable homeowners to solve these problems without detracting from the appeal of estate homes.
3. Provide a limited range of acceptable products
Community management can choose a selected range of Trellidor Lifestyle products and offer these as solutions to homeowners within the estate. The range can be tailored by Trellidor to enhance the signature design of the homes. For example, the Trellidor Clear Guard frames can be powder coated in an approved colour, as can the fully framed Polycarbonate Bar design.
4. Choose from a range of virtually invisible products
The Trellidor Lifestyle consists of virtually invisible products that are hardly noticeable once fitted and do not detract from the beauty of the home designs within the estate. Management can choose from Clear Guard screens; Rollerstyle shutters; Security Shutter louvres; and Polycarbonate Bar.
All these products can be fitted internally so that they can’t be seen from the outside. They are all multi-purpose products, making them cost-effective for the homeowners. For example, they protect homes from petty theft while at the same time preventing access by monkeys.
5. Turn-key service removes pressure on community management
Trellidor offers a turn-key service whereby they work with each homeowner and within the rules dictated by community management if these are in place for Trellidor products. They ensure that homeowners select their products from specified ranges; that these are installed as per agreed restrictions such as internal fitments only; and that products comply in terms of colour.
“Estate management teams are more than welcome to contact us to see samples of the Trellidor Lifestyle range and discuss options for any developments within their portfolios,” said Peter Rawson, Trellidor Marketing and Sales Director.
