Options for fire shutters in Airdrie
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
