Fire shutters form a vital part of fire safety measures for your business, giving fire protection of up to four hours to the building, between building sections or between floors, for horizontal fire shutters.
This helps secure your goods, and protect your staff and property in Charnwood by significantly delaying the spread of fire.
They also help ensure fire safety compliance, so your Charnwood business can meet Loss Prevention Council Requirements and gain insurance pay-outs in the event of a fire.
Westwood are also happy to supply you with smoke curtains to further strengthen your fire control measures.
We offer our Charnwood clients three main methods of automatic operation for fire rated shutters.
Firstly, a fusible link involves the use of solder as connection in the circuit: heat radiated from a nearby fire causes the solder to melt and this activates the door.
Secondly, a fire relay means that the Fire Shutter or Fire Door is connected to the fire alarm system at your Charnwood firm. When the alarm sounds, your Fire Shutter activates.
Finally, a delayed Audio/Visual Warning used 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 safe exit of the affected area.
Building regulations 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.
