What to specify

Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.

Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
