How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

Options we can specify

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent

Rules in England

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

Before you book in Workington

Do you cover Workington?

Yes. Workington (CA14) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with nearby Whitehaven.

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.

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.

What rating do I need?

The rating must match the fire-resisting wall the shutter is in, which is set by the building's fire strategy or fire risk assessment. We work from that, or from your fire engineer's specification.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
