A fire shutter door can withstand fire under test conditions for a given duration of time. The effectiveness of a fire shutter in October 2023 ranges on a scale of 60, 120, or 240-minute.
It represents timing for the prevention of significant damage to buildings. Our fire doors are tested to ‘Rigid’ and ‘Flexible’ structures and offer up to four-hour fire resistance.
Security is a significant concern for businesses and homeowners. It is paramount to consider the security level provided by fire-rated shutters. You can add a fire alarm and other security alarm systems for extra insurance.
Commercial premises prefer additional protection, such as bullet locks, to the roller shutters to mitigate potential break-ins.
Perforated shutters are also a fantastic option for retail outlets. They act as heavy, immobile objects providing the best compromise between security and visibility, especially during business hours.
Fire-rated shutters can cost from £100 to around £1,500. The choice of a fire shutter door is dependent on durability and cost.
We offer fire-resistant roller shutters that last a lifetime and, at the same time, guarantee quality and value for money.
Our brand is reputable and does not compromise the quality of shutters or security doors.
Fire shutters enhance the overall appearance of your business.
For instance, perforated shutters are aesthetically pleasing and offer the best compromise between security and visibility, which is best suited for business fronts.
To no small extent, fire shutters reduce interruption by traffic, mechanics, factories, and heavy machinery.
They enhance efficiency in business operations and minimise noise pollution. With fire curtains, you reduce the risk of your fire alarm signal going off.
Fire shutters come in different types depending on individual needs. Some are needed for commercial premises, while others are for private premises needs.
Other variables include heat insulation, fire resistance, and weather protection.

Regulators recommend that existing fire shutters be operated manually or via fusible links.
When the set temperature is reached, it will cause the fire shutter to close automatically without relying on human-computer interaction.
Blinds equipped with integrated fire interface panels can be automatically operated and integrated into the building alarm system.
This means that even if no fire is visible, the shutters will automatically lower, thus preventing further fires.
Barrel support frames are not the only party responsible for containing the fire.
Barrel frames are a vital fire system in supporting large-sized fire shutters, making them resist dropping when temperatures are high.
Non-fire security shutters play an essential role in fire risk assessment.
They provide an emergency escape route for a small number of individuals in a building.
Beyond installation, proper testing and servicing of fire-resistant shutters are part of the routine maintenance of a building to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
You should check your fire curtain as frequently as your fire alarm to ensure it is running to its optimum efficiency.
The fire shutter’s level depends on the hours of fire protection operation they have.
If the blind has a four-hour mark, they can endure the flame for four hours.
The fire protection application assesses facility information and certificate numbers to validate blind ratings.

A fire shutter door controls flames and smoke inside in the event of a fire, and there are various types you can choose from.
Installation is made strategically inside the building to prevent the spread of fire and fumes. Like alarms, these devices automatically react upon heat, smoke, and fire detection.
Some types of fire shutters offer both fire and theft protection. However, most general safety shutters do not provide any fire protection.
Fire shutters are installed above the existing security doors and buildings. They can be made of the following materials:
Different brands and models of blinds have their unique installation specifications. Some fire shutters are operated manually, but many models are built to activate fire detection automatically.
The fire shutter is suitable for maintaining its integrity for a specified period in the event of a fire. They are rated for 1-4 hours to withstand the fire.
Fire resistance depends on the surrounding walls and structure. Choosing the blinds that best suit their location and purpose requires expertise and experience.
Fire shutters are manufactured and designed by fire safety standards to prevent the spread of smoke and fire during a fire.
Many types of fire curtains are connected to the entire fire detection system of the building and are activated by the alarm system. Some types have built-in heat and smoke detectors to improve safety.
The specific installation conditions determine the most suitable type of blinds. The shutters for smaller openings are designed with tubular motors and are mostly installed on the door. Their score is two hours.
Unlike the bulk motor model, the latter is a more traditional fire shutter, used for larger openings, requires two to four hours of fire rating, and is installed in the unit on the side of the opening.
Three different types of fire rated roller shutters can be CE-marked and manufactured. Each form of fire curtain has its own set of features and benefits.

Fire Doors can only install manufactured fire shutters that meet the Extended Application Report’s standards (EXAP).

Cast end locks are 75mm broad curved interlocking galvanised steel 22swg solid lath.
The dimensions of the structural apertures will determine the guide type. A normal fire shutter would have a guide of 65mm x 2.5mm.
The EXAP report specifies the barrel type. The mild steel tube is different based on the clear opening measurements.
Fire shutters are installed with the following operation types:
240 volts for a single-phase motor
415 volts for a three-phase motor
According to BS EN 12453, a safety brake is necessary, and the type depends on the shaft size and weight (Ranges from 16mm to 60mm)
It was built from 75mm x 50mm x 5mm steel angle with punched gaps to allow for expansion in the event of a fire.
The type of endplate depends on the EXAP report. The end plates are fixed to the steel fixing angle, which spans the full height of the fire shutter.
The canopy is the same width and form as the endplate, with a 50mm top lip perforated for an extension.
The following structural types are tested before fire door installation:
