How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

What's included

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

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Before you book in Swanley

Do you cover Swanley?

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
