How commercial fire shutters work

Commercial fire shutters, also known as fire doors, act as a shield for commercial buildings in the event of a fire and prevent the flames from spreading to other parts of the building. Commercial fire shutters are made from fire-resistant materials that can withstand the heat for several hours, giving staff and customers time to escape and fire fighters the opportunity to come in and stop the fire before further damage is caused. 

The benefits of commercial fire shutters

  • Commercial fire shutters offer varying levels of protection, ranging between 60 minutes to 4 hours.
  • Commercial fire shutters can be mechanical, self-controlling or power-operated
  • Commercial fire shutters can be manufactured to suit almost any opening in your premises 
  • Commercial fire shutters are available in a large range of RAL and BS colours so will complement the rest of your building
