How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

Options we can specify

  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Governed closing speed for safety

Your questions answered

Do you cover Kirkcudbright?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Kirkcudbright. We also cover nearby Newton Stewart.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
