What to know about fire shutters in Carrickfergus

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Specification options

  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Carrickfergus?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Carrickfergus. We also cover nearby Newtownabbey, Bangor (County Down) and Larne.

Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?

Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.

How often should a fire shutter be tested?

Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, so they must be kept in working order. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for a drop test and service at least once a year, and more often where they are used heavily.

Do you certify fire shutters?

The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We supply certified shutters with their documentation and install them to the manufacturer's instructions.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
