How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

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

Options we can specify

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

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Accrington?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Accrington. We also cover nearby Rawtenstall, Blackburn and Darwen.

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.

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.

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.

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.
