Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in Gateshead
Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.
Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space. Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection.
Features to choose from
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Face or reveal fixing
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Manual or electric operation
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
