What to know about fire shutters in Kirkwall

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.

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.

What's included

  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover

Your questions answered

Do you cover Kirkwall?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Kirkwall. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.

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.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

What warranty do I get?

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