About Louvre Abu Dhabi
Born of an intergovernmental agreement between the UAE and France in 2007, Louvre
Abu Dhabi will be the first universal museum in the Arab World translating the spirit of
openness and dialogue of cultures. Being unprecedented in scale and scope, it will also be
one of the World’s premier cultural institutions.
The Rolegard units will be supplied in a variety
of sizes up to 6.0 metres high by 8.0 metres
wide. Each shutter is electrically operated and
incorporates fully monitored safety systems
which help prevent any accidental contact with
the door during operation. The shutters are
specified with unique stainless steel profiles
which further add to their durability and
aesthetics, supporting the museum’s unique
location on the water’s edge in the Saadiyat
Island’s Cultural District.
The Rolegard SR4 was
the only shutter that
could meet the Museum’s
demand for the LPS1175,
issue 7, level 4 security
standard with stainless
steel profiles and it
performed exceptionally
well during trials.
