Options that matter on site
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
