Interior design and fit out in London. Layouts, materials and joinery, priced before the build, built by the same team.

When planning a luxury refurbishment in London, most homeowners think carefully about materials. They think about finishes and furniture too. Far fewer think carefully about security, until something goes wrong. At NU Projects, we believe security is a fundamental part of interior design. It is not an afterthought. There are many ways to secure a prime London property. Internal window security shutters are one of the quietest.

Internal window security shutters are bespoke security roller shutters. They are installed to the interior of ground and lower-ground floor windows and doors. Unlike external shutters, internal shutters sit flush with the window frame. They sit on the inside of the property. This makes them almost entirely invisible when raised. When lowered, they are indistinguishable from a standard window treatment.

Why the shutters belong in the design, not after it

Internal security shutters are applied on a frame. Vertical rails on the frame support the shutter. It’s really important to apply this step as part of the interior design project. That way the shutters can be designed to integrate with the existing window system. They can integrate with the furnishing and the style of the room too.

What they do for a prime London home

In prime London postcodes, a house is a target. That includes Chelsea, South Kensington, Belgravia, Holland Park and Notting Hill. High value property, art, jewellery and a visible way of life all count. They make ground floor security a real priority. Internal shutters protect the house without undoing the interior you paid for.

The shutters are designed to integrate with your existing window system and furnishings. They can be specified in a wide range of colours, finishes and materials. These can match or complement the room. When raised, the shutter system is completely invisible. The box housing conceals within the window reveal or ceiling void. The aesthetic impact on your interior is effectively zero.

Control is managed via a computer-based central system. It can be operated remotely by smartphone. The system notifies you if a shutter has been left open. It also allows full management from anywhere in the world. That is essential for London properties occupied intermittently or managed by a household team.

You may be planning a luxury interior design or refurbishment project in London. If so, internal window security shutters should be included from the very beginning. Retrofitting security is always more expensive and disruptive than designing it in. NU Projects works closely with specialist security consultants and shutter manufacturers. Together we deliver bespoke systems that are fully integrated with your interior design. They are integrated with your access control and your lifestyle too.

We work across Chelsea, South Kensington, Belgravia and Notting Hill. We also work in the wider prime London market. See interiors for the rest of the scope.
