Charter Global provides three solution systems to the industry as follows:
Integr8 Shutters
Integr8’s product range includes Structural and Non-Structural Built-In roller shutters, catering for the latest in construction technology, including traditional, timber frames and off-site modular projects. Continued security issues in recent years have highlighted vulnerabilities in building security for applications within these sectors. As such, built-in roller shutters must now allow for a significant degree of access while at the same time protecting sensitive areas from unauthorised entry.
- Integr8 Structural Built-in Shutters: Integr8’s specialist range of Structural Built-In Shutters encompasses the very best architectural construction of integrated lintel shutter systems. By removing the need for an unsightly headbox, integrated security shutters sit within the load-bearing lintel of an aperture.
- Integr8 Non-Structural Built-in Shutters: The Integr8 Non Structural Built-In Shutters are best suited for applications where there is no requirement for a load bearing lintel. This can be due to the application’s intended purpose, or due to the architectural design requirements and planning permission restrictions. The shutter is integrated flush the building profile, therefore completely removing the requirement for an unsightly headbox.
Equilux Premium Residential Security:
Residential security shutters are becoming more popular among modern homes in the UK to protect against increasing crime rates and offer occupant safety. The past perception of roller security shutters is that they are obtrusive, unattractive, and mainly used for business or retail premises, but, when working with an appropriate solutions provider, you will find a variety of options that can enhance your home security without compromising on design or aesthetics.
Currently unmatched within the security solutions market, Equilux residential security shutters are a completely unique approach to home security and are specifically designed as roller shutters for prestigious residencies of ultra-high net worth individuals.
A wide range of shutter styles are available through the Equilux Security Shutter range for applications requiring unique solutions, such as shutters requiring extremely compact rolling zones for retrofit situations with limited space, bespoke measurements, a wide range of finishes to any RAL colour to best suit the property’s design, and all products are manufactured at our purpose-built facilities here in the UK.
Our Equilux range offers both internal and external security roller shutters, each providing unique advantages. Either option will provide the same level of security.

Keeping Brachytherapy Equipment secure with Obexion
As knowledge about cancer treatments expands, hospitals are increasingly developing dedicated departments for specialized care. This growth in demand affects not only the physical space needed for advanced medical equipment but also the security measures necessary to protect it. Brachytherapy, in particular, presents unique challenges due to the live radioactive isotopes it uses, requiring continuous and robust security solutions.
Project Security Concerns
A hospital in the Midlands faced the critical task of securing its Brachytherapy department. Although the hospital had already installed security-rated personnel doors, they needed an additional layer of protection to secure the sensitive, mobile Brachytherapy equipment that contains live radioactive materials.
Charter Global’s Solution: Obexion High-Security Roller Shutter
Charter Global was brought in to install an Obexion MD SR4 roller shutter over the department entrance. Certified by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) to LPS 1175 D10 (SR4) standard, the shutter offers an added layer of defense. It provides an additional 10 minutes of resistance to attacks with hand tools and power tools, ensuring that even if the outer doors were compromised, the equipment remains secure.
Enhanced Access Control and Traceability
To ensure traceability and controlled access, the Obexion shutter comes equipped with a control keypad that assigns individual PIN codes to staff members. This provides a clear record of who last operated the shutter and limits access to only authorized personnel, enhancing the overall security of the facility.
Long-Term Security and Maintenance with TotalCare
Understanding the critical nature of maintaining continuous operation, the hospital opted for Charter Global’s TotalCare service contract. Thanks to this comprehensive maintenance plan, the Obexion shutter has remained in perfect working condition for over eight years, delivering reliable protection day in and day out.
Fast Emergency Deployment and Lockdown Mechanism
The Obexionshutter is designed to deploy quickly in case of an emergency. Its unique Lockdown mechanism ensures that the shutter self-locks at all points when closed, preventing forced entry even when partially closed. This feature provides the hospital with a rapid and dependable response to potential threats.
Discreet Installation for Public-Facing Buildings
Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the Obexion shutters are lightweight yet incredibly durable. Their low weight facilitates easier installation and enables them to be integrated discreetly into public-facing buildings like hospitals, where maintaining the facility’s aesthetic appeal is essential.
Conclusion: Robust and Reliable Security for Critical Hospital Equipment
By installing the Obexion high-security shutter, the Midlands hospital reinforced its commitment to protecting its sensitive Brachytherapy equipment. With layered security, enhanced access control, emergency readiness, and long-term operational assurance, Charter Global delivered a solution that ensures both safety and peace of mind for the hospital and its patients.
Charter Global - Celebrating 20 years of innovation
Celebrating 20 years of innovation
This month, Charter Global celebrates 20 years of innovation and success in the physical security market.
Established in High Wycombe in 2004, Charter Global recognised an ever-changing landscape in the security and architectural industries and saw an opportunity to integrate the two by manufacturing and installing high-security shutters that had a sympathetic aesthetic to the modern, sleek styles of new-build architecture.
Our inaugural range, Integr8 was soon developed, becoming a leading brand with a robust lintel that can be used in the same fashion as a standard lintel but conceals a shutter curtain inside to create a near-invisible security solution.
As production has grown, so has the factory, and a relocation to Reading soon followed and in 2011, through developments in lintel structure technology, the Equilux range was launched, offering bespoke solutions to the residential market.
As our Integr8 range achieved LPCB LPS 1175 SR2 & SR3 certification in 2013, the new high-security Obexion range was launched later in 2013 and was the first SR5-rated shutter to market, specifically to serve high-risk applications such as government, military, museums, and the financial sector.
Obexion Security Shutters have reached several industry firsts, from NPSA (National Protective Security Authority) and NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) and HVM certification for the first anti-ram shutter in the market, as well as successfully attaining certification from the US Department of State – the first UK company to achieve such status for security products.
Innovation was the key when receiving the first security shutter to gain certification without needing auxiliary locks, thanks to the development of unique LockDown Technology to ensure a shutter can be locked in any position.
The complete shutter range is also recognised by the ACPO Secured by Design initiative and is a police preferred specification.
Inspired by emerging opportunities, the team behind Charter Global have remained at the forefront of innovation in design, manufacturing, and installation ever since, with new products and new standards of LPCB certification being accomplished on a regular basis.
Now with experience in applying our bespoke products to a range of industries including Transport, Commercial, Utilities, Communications, Laboratories, Defence and Government buildings and to projects all around the World we are proud to be celebrating 20 years of success and look forward to an exciting future of further innovation in everything we do.
