We supply Fire Shutters in Braintree. All of our Braintree Fire Shutters are fully tested and certified by Exova Fire Safety Warrington. Fire Shutters are an increasingly popular option and offer fire protection at up to four hours greater than would be the case for a standard non fire rated door or shutter. They can be used to section off and protect a particular part of a building, the whole building, or even provide protection between floors (horizontal fire shutters).
Our Engineers cover Braintree and surrounding areas including Bradwell, Haltstead and Great Dunmow.

We Have Fire Shutters for Every Conceivable Requirement
There are three main methods of automatic operation. Firstly, a fusible link may be used which involves the use of solder as the connection in the circuit. Heat radiated from a nearby fire causes the solder to melt and this activates the door.
Alternatively a fire relay means that the Fire Shutter or Fire Door is connected to the fire alarm system. When the alarm is sounded, the Fire Shutter activates. Thirdly, a delayed Audio/Visual Warning used in connection with the Fire Shutter is connected to the alarm system, and operates usually with a time delay very similarly to a fire relay. During this delay an additional alarm is sounded, warning those in close proximity to the door that is about to close, thus allowing them to exit the affected area.

If you are a Braintree business owner and take the security and safety of your business, premises and staff seriously, you may be surprised to know that every year many businesses are forced to close as insurance companies often refuse to meet claims because building regulations and Loss Prevention Council requirements have not been met in relation to fire spread. Fire Shutters from Westwood Security of Braintree are the perfect to ensure compliance.
We also supply:
Building regulations in Braintree require that openings in fire resisting walls or partitions must have a door with an equivalent fire rating to that of the wall or partition.
