Options that matter on site
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- 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.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- 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.
