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. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

Features to choose from

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

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 Shirley (Solihull)?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Shirley (Solihull). We also cover nearby Solihull, Smethwick and Redditch.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
