Options that matter on site

Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Gloucester, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
