Options for fire shutters in Wickford
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
