Integrated, effective fire shutter solutions

Fire shutters should be a key part of your overall fire strategy for your building and work seamlessly with other elements, such as smoke alarms or sprinklers. Fire shutters can help keep people, buildings, and other belongings safer in the case of an emergency by compartmentalising the fire and slowing its progression.

A fire shutter can prevent the spread of a fire by up to 4 hours when compared to your typical shutter. The timeframe is significant in helping to ensure people get out of the building safely and reducing the damage that fire can cause. Shutters can be used to section off and protect particular parts of a building, the whole building and even provide protection between floors with horizontal fire shutters.
